restricting bandwidth for certain users

fobose · 10 Sep 2010 at 20:00

I currently have a Thomson Speedtouch 546 ADSL router and a Thomson speedtouch 180 wireless access point. I have users using the wireless, however I want to restrict their bandwidth.

I am interested in peoples suggestions in the best way to go about doing this. I would prefer to keep my ADSL router if possible. Is there a wireless router or AP that I could add to my current setup (removing the speedtouch 180 wireless AP of course) that would allow me to use QoS over the wireless only?

Install Netlimiter on each users pc?

I never thought of that, although I will have to wait until the next time they ask me to do something on their computer.

Thanks.

Some routers enable you to limit bandwidth to certain ip clients.
You bind their current ip to their mac address then limit that ip to whatever bandwidth you choose, very handy lately
