tell him straight out right he needs to stop or he have to get his own Interent. Did that to my cousin lol. He used to download tons of stuff everyday and no one could go online to do anything. I got piss one day and block is MAC and tell him straight if he contiunes he needs to pay for his own Interent.

alternatively you can tell him to smarten the fuck up. problem solved

Update to firmware 1.21 ... Much more functionality than 1.11
Anyways, this is how you do it:
Go to your advanced tab in router setup - 
Open your QoS Engine - 
Add your IP Address (It's best to use a static IP for yourself at the highest or lowest value) and then add everyone else's IP addresses - 
I gave myself a static IP (192.168.0.100) and assigned myself 1st priority. I assigned everyone else (192.168.0.101 through 192.168.0.199) the lowest (255th) priority.
You can assign Static IP addresses by clicking on the Setup tab at the top, selecting Network Settings, then using Add DHCP Reservation (Select your computer name, choose an IP address, click Save, reboot). I recommend either 192.168.0.100 or 192.168.0.199 so you can use a range for the rest like I did.

bumping this up, my problem is related to the DIR-655 and QOS
so i have enabled QOS, and set priorities for the computers/consoles connected to the router. ever since i set up the QOS engine, i have been having random disconnects every 5mins - 1hour, and it comes back within 30secs all the time. both lan and wan gets disconnected. i was pulling my hair out for 2 weeks until i realize it was the QOS that was fking up the connection. now that i disabled QOS, the router doesnt reboot/disconnect anymore, but i would like to have QOS running.
so what the hell am i suppose to do?!
theres:
1 desktop via wired
2 laptops + 1 netbook via wireless
1 PS3 via wired
1 XBOX360 via wired
the desktop is connected 24/7, the 2 laptops most of the time, netbook sometimes, the PS3 and Xbox is only connected when i play.
firmware is 1.32NA, hardware is A2

firmware is 1.32NA, hardware is A2 | Are you using the latest firmware? if so, it sounds like your router is overloading from the traffic. Unfortunately, 3rd party firmware is not supported for the DIR655 (as far as I know). Your best bet is to either turn QoS off, live with it, get a new router or wait until a new firmware upgrade is released.

Great router as long as you flash it with Tomato or DD-WRT.

firmware is latest, i dont think traffic is THAT heavy. it disconnects from BTing, or internet browsing, or just plain idling, i notice it disconnects.

The bottom line is your router resets (disconnects) because it's overloading.
Whether the load is heavy or not, it's not subject to you to judge, but solely based on the performance of your router.
Since you are using the latest firmware then there's nothing you can do. Either you wait it out or you buy a new one.

there is no way a 655 is overloading with traffic.... it sounds more like your router is defective
