hey everyone,

I decided to 'share' my wireless within my home with my tenants..BUT is there a way to 'limit' their bandwidth so they dont suck it all up?

THey just use it to check email, that kind of thing.. so on those nights where i want to play WoW i'd want to avoid them doing something heavy like downloading..

i assume there's probably a router out there that can perhaps set bandwidth per IP?

Get a router with custom FW. Linksys with tomato FW can do that.

Or get a router with firmware that already supports packet filtering and bandwidth control. Read the boxes.

You're looking for QoS.
