Far Far Away!
Hello everyone, i need someone to really help me with this,
I live in a shared house, and we all have access to the wifi.
But the guy in the other room keeps hogging all the bandwidth making it hard for me to even load google sometimes.
He streams sky from the xbox too :@

The router is a Thompson TG585 v7 and it's on o2 internet!

It has no option to limit speeds or anything of the sort, i've read about enabling QoS but the router doesn't have that either.

There is no chance of getting a better router to have more options and the guy has been spoken to, but a few days later it happens again!

Is there any software out there that i can install on my pc to work with the router or control speeds?

Please help if anyone can, it's bugging me!

Thanks guys
 
He won't use an ethernet cable as he's done it before, and it's more the case of if i could control it without knowing, not malichously but just enough so it wasn't all going to him when the xbox boots up.

The router is old now but unfortuanely i have no control of upgrading it :(

The router doesnt even have a QoS option which is rather annoying

I guess i have no other options?

Thanks again
 
No way of upgrading router as landlord wont do it. :(
I know his computer is plugged into the router by ethernet. I just think the router is too old to do anything! Darn it!!
