Sky Modem - Can I Set Prioritys For Each Pc

sare^baw's · 1 Jan 2013 at 13:52

Hey guys, i have a netgear sky modem. Till now usually my main pc and downloads always were strong and never had this concern but my girlfriend moved in and she streams movies on her laptop ad this has a bad effect on my main pc, downloads are badly affected and even general internet use is very slow. So what can i do so her Laptop is not hogging all the bandwidth. I was wondering if priorities can be set in the modem???

happy new year

On a Sky modem I don't think you can at all.

i tried clicking the DL box next to the program ie newsleecher, it does not reduce the speed to the set limit it just goes to zero, same if i click on the DL limit box next to my computer.

maybe i need to buy it to try this function out, who knows you would think it would have a functional trial mode. :eek:
