How do I limit a user's bandwidth?

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and new to changing router settings.

Here's the situation: I play online games and my mom streams series/movies, we have a 10meg line from Vox. But when my mom is streaming I lag horribly and I'm pinning it on my router not being able to share bandwidth properly (layman's assumption), so I want to limit the bandwidth she receives - or at least prioritize my pc's bandwidth for gaming so that I do not lag. I am on a cable from the modem and she connects via the wifi.

I have heard that setting up QoS is probably the best way to limit her bandwidth but I have the D-Link DSL2750U modem and people have been saying that it is impossible to set QoS up even though it has the functionality. So I want to know if this is true or has someone been able to setup QoS on a DSL2750U? If it is impossible, then what modem/routers are there that I could buy that will enable me to limit her bandwidth? Or are there any other options?

Thanks!
