We have a device in our house to stream Asian TV channels, but the problem is it's a complete bandwidth hog, mainly because it's p2p and uses a lot of upload as well as download bandwidth.

I want to get a router with QoS to limit the upload speed of the device, which will hopefully improve the connection for the actual computers in the house, as right now any time someone watches anything with it, the connection for any other devices on the network slows down considerably.

My thinking right now is to set my Virgin Superhub to modem mode, connect it via ethernet to the new router, connect the TV device into the router via ethernet and then have 2 PCs connected wirelessly to the router (as well as things like mobile phones etc).

Would this be a good setup, or is there a better alternative? If it's ok, does anyone know of any routers with powerful QoS controls (bandwidth control of each device connected to the network would be ideal) for around £60-70?
 
I have an ASUS RT N-56U which is just slightly over your budget.
I'm also on VM with SH on modem only.

It has excellent traffic/QoS management and can limit bandwidth per device via MAC or IP.
You can also set access times for each device.

It has excellent stability and decent throughput.

Just a suggestion. worth the few extra bucks IMHO.
 
Don't skimp on network infrastructure. Been there, done that, got the T... Asus 56/66 all the way.... Best wireless available.
