Geek talk - Wireless router help

[txusa03]

ska, here is how you do it. when he leaves the house, get on his computer and installs another firewall and go into the firewall and make it scans on all traffics (in/out). Then go to the firewall security setting and lock that sucker up so he does not have permission to disable your settings That might deter him from using internet. But if he is stubborn and continue to use the internet, they you will be hit also with the bottle neck (i think)

if that does not work, pour cofee on his computer

You can limit connect speed by using a feature name QoS. With QoS, you can limit connection speed per device through your router setting.

Be aware that a standard home ADSL/Cable internet service is half-duplex. So if one of the machine connected to your router is uploading something(virus, spy-ware or actual sharing file), your download speed can be extreme slower than normal which create higher ping.

no it's a feature within the router.

Now here is a totally useless reply that offers no advice but does rip everyone else....I wanted him to be aware of how to cut off the offending person if he was unable to limit the bandwith given that it is near impossible with a home network router..take a chill pill bud...

Also, check out this bandwith throttling software for the Linksys: "Sveasoft is committed to improving wireless technology through the development of firmware upgrades for popular wireless routers. With our aftermarket upgrades your Linksys WRT54G or GS router becomes more than just an access point. It is a powerful multi-function device including a firewall, bandwidth manager, VPN server, wireless access point, Ethernet switch, vlan manager, and much, much more"

Good luck!

hes asking if he can limit the bandwith of the other users using the wireless router not how to prevent anyone from acessing it



to be actually helpfull in the matter, does the person know what your trying to do or are you doing it behind his back? if he knows it would be easiest to do it via software on his pc (though im sure he could disable it if he wanted) most routers dont have any way to limit bandwith to certain IPs though there are some


and let me throw a guess out, your little brother is downloading pron while your trying to frag people in CS? im so right arent i, but wtf your playing CS over wireless? that sucks

also you meen you want to limit it to 56Kb not 560Kb right? you would have a monster connection if 560Kb was just a small slice of your bandwith

Sorry, no sense of humor today - someone just died in the family...tried logging on here to take my mind away from things but then had to face the above... - what ever happened to it? Furthermore, this may be a public forum but I don't need some whippersnapper telling me to "just listen to the first few words that come out of your girlfriends mouth and then wonder why she slaps you because you heard "like it from behind"...get the picture?
