I set up the QoS putting priority over MAC to my desktop (Wich is connected by the LAN1 port of the router) I set up the Service priority for Dota2 and battlefield 3 in the QoS setup. I set up the netmask priority of my computer. I tried even to put 1kb up/down to the output internet speed of the QoS and still doesnt work.
I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension.
To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority:
However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed:
The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater.
Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as done now?
If there is (only) a (more complicate) way to achieve this task I'd like to know how, but probably leak knowledge like I leak with port forwarding and things of a kind.

Related WDS-Settings as seen below. I am unsure if (and how) these settings must be applied to match the question concept (due to leak of network based knowledge)

Dd Wrt Qos Setup
Two main concepts are required to clear this up for you:
- Layer 2 Broadcast domain
A 'Broadcast Domain' is also known as a LAN segment. Layer 2 communications (MAC Addresses) only propagate within one Broadcast Domain. This is defined by switch or VLAN. To get to another LAN segment you need Layer 3, IP routing. In your case, the repeater routes to the main router and vice versa. Routers are not MAC aware. Thus you will never see MAC addresses from a different segment.
- QoS Headers
Qos Priority List
QoS works by attaching a IEEE P802.1p header that describes the priority of the packet. QoS aware devices will keep the header as they pass the packet. Any device that is not QoS aware will strip the header.
For this to work the header must be placed on by the repeater. Then the main router needs to accept and understand the header (it appears to).
You can also configure QoS based on protocol, instead of device.
