So I’m living in a student house with people who are going to use skype and bbc iplayer a lot.

I don’t mind this but I don’t want them complaining that my gaming is the cause of slow streaming etc.

I want to get a router with bandwidth management as the topic title suggests so that I can impose a restriction on each person so we all get equal amounts. I also heard you can enforce dynamic restrictions so if someone is offline the others can use their ‘bit of the internet’.

I looked at this router since after googling ‘router with bandwidth management’ – http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Linksys-WRT54GL-Wireless-G-Broadband-Compatible/dp/B000BTL0OA%3FSubscriptionId%3D19BAZMZQFZJ6G2QYGCG2%26tag%3Dsquidooa252025-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000BTL0OA – and it seems to do the job and be reasonably priced. Before I buy I thought I’d ask if anyone has any experience of doing this and if maybe there’s a better router on the market for me and so on.

Any recommendations for routers would be great, or even another solution.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yea.. looks a bit gay

that hair…
MY EYES IT BURNS

Used to have one of them, sold it off to a mate a while back though, good router, esp. if you install DD-WRT

Hijacking this… (don’t want to spam the router threads all over the place) seen the DIR-655 recommended a lot, but, somewhat expensive, and no DD-WRT.

Anyone know of a decent router w/ wireless N, that won’t crash every 5 minutes and can run DD-WRT (I.E decent processor within, DD-WRT’s QoS works properly, etc) ?
Price limit of say, £60 ish?

inb4 chris?

k cheers babe
