Home Router with Rate Limiting (Kb/sec)

Hi all,

Could anybody help me out in finding a home router which will enable me to limit the upload and download rate of each computer connected to it?

Thanks!

Owen,

After looking over the links provided I have put in my order at ocuk for a wrt54gl.

Thanks to all!

(looking forward to setting up some QOS and bandwidth rules to prioritise my traffic over my housemates, woot).

Hmm, interesting. Does the VicTek firmware also have bandwidth scheduling as well as throttling. So I can for example limit upload traffic to 20KB/s between 7pm and 8 pm?

Here is a screenshot from the VicTek Tomato firmware bandwidth limiting page.

There are no options built into that page to allow you to change times that the limits are in place.

However, Tomato has a built in sceduler which can run CRON jobs using the cru command (set to tun at specific dates/times). I am not sure if this could be used to change the bandwidth limit rules, but it may prove useful looking into it.

Hope this help,

Owen
