I have 2 meg Cable broadband,

What i'm after is a wireless router that can limit how much bandwidth each user gets, primarily to limit the other laptops in the house from eating it all up and allow me to download my stuff

something like limiting each user to 256kb and letting me have the rest to myself

Does such a thing exist?

Thanks

Avi

 

with 3rd party firmware

that should do the trick, check the link below for 3rd party firmware

or something more expensive

nice routers they be

more specs on the above link

something else to consider if you have a PC lying around, would need an access point mind you

Well we share the cost of the broadband between us, but i'm the only one who knows anything about routers etc.. hence, as payment for my skills in getting everyone hooked up, i believe i am entitled to at least half the bandwidth.

 

I'm gonna tell your dad

Enable QoS then

 

My router doesn't support QOS at the moment, i have a D-Link DI-604 Cable Router and an Access Point

Looking at replacing both these with a wireless router.

Any suggestions as to a QOS enabled router?
