One on one help with new traffic shaping setup?

Hello.
I have a new pfsense firewall device i'm using as my home router. Before this i used a buffalo wzr600dhp2 running dd-wrt. That router had some qos settings for my voip devices because of limited bandwidth.
Now i'm trying to reproduce those settings on the new router but this is so far ahead of qos on dd-wrt i don't even know where to start. I was wondering if someone would have some time that they would be willing to deticate to helping me get started?
I will happily pay a reasonable amount for the time if we're successful.

The setup is like this.
dsl connection, 8 MPBS down and 1 up
the dsl modem has a public lan configured and the pfsense router is on the internet configured with a static ip.
There is one lan network behind this with between 5 and 10 devices. One of these devices is a grandstream phone which i want to deticate 250 KBPS of bandwidth to.
I also want to prioritize rdp traffic on the whole network over any other traffic besides voip which should get priority over everything.
I tried running through the wizzard but i guess i'm not understanding it properly because it's not allowing me to do it because i'm using greater than 30 % of the available bandwidth.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Set priq on wan and lan

Create 4 queues for each

qVoip
qRdp
qAck
qDefault

Set priorities to 7,6,5,1 respectively

Enable codel on every queue. Make qDefault be the default queue.

Make firewall rules that allow VoIP traffic, and set it to VoIP queue. Make firewall rule that sets rdp to rdp queue, and ack to ack queue .

Make an allow all rule that sets default, and ack queue

Should be good to go

Just 100% make sure codel is enabled on all queues

Hello.
This shows just how little i actually know about this yet. :-[
When i set wan or lan to priq it asks for a bandwidth limit. What should that limit be? the speed of the internet connection? or the speed of the interface.
Also, since my upload and download bandwidth is different, which one should be used for which? wan for upload or download?

Thanks.

Internet speed, and it's from the perspective of the interface that is transmitting

Wan is your internet upload speed, since wan transmits upload
Lan is your internet download speed, since lan transmits download
