    Ok, I currently have a Linksys wrt54g. There are 2 users of wireless in the house. Sometimes one of my cousins comes over with his laptop. BUT he sucks all the juice! I don't mind if he uses it, but I'd like to limit his bandwidth. I have been researching on linksysinfo but am coming up short. In the standard firmware I can use the QoS and put his mac addy in and set his priority to low, but thats all. If I flash to dd-wrt, there is a more detailed way but in the end you can set the limit for just a specified computer!

    Have I looked over something?

    Also, I am not opposed to getting a different router to solve this problem. Do the other brands like Belkin, Netgear, Dlink or the like have any such settings?!? Please help! Like I said, I'm nnot opposed to him using it, just not ALL of it!

    1. Move the access point
    2. Change the structure of the building
    3. Decrease the power consumption
    4. Change frequencies from 802.11g to something else like 802.11b

    Fashion aluminum foil into a cone shape waveguide, and put it on the snteena and his forehead.

    Cool idea, but not necessary
