Hey,
I am hoping for a bit of advice on how to control the bandwith on my home network. I currently have a wireless network using a pretty slow (54MBps) router with a cable modem (virgin in the UK).
There are quite a few people in the house, and i am pretty sure that some are doing filesharing which is killing my bandwith for general surfing (especially when we get penalised for hitting our quotas).
Does anyone know of a good router that can help control the bandwith (preferrably through an easy to use UI) of the wireless network, whilst giving good speeds as well? Ideally if i can see how much bandwith certain IP or MAC addresses are using that would be good.
I have very limited knowledge when it comes to networking, so something simple would be ideal. I have tried an EDIMAX router which was good (and gave a fairly cumbersome way of controlling bandwith), but it has died. Other than trying the same thing again, any thoughts?
Is there a better way of doing this rather than through the router?
Thanks in advance.
Matt
