limiting the bandwidth

Hey,

Basically I share a 10 meg (blueyonder) cable line with my sister and you would think that was more than enough badwidth but when she is browsing and on msn it really makes my online play erratic.

So I was wondering if I could split the connection and limit her to say 1 meg ? I currently have a netgear rp614 router v2 in network.

Is this possible and how would I go about doing it?


Many thanks in advance Andy

you might and a switch between the router and the two systems.
a switch will make better use of the network and greatly reduce the traffic.

For the home user, bandwidth throttling is expensive, professional level feature
in up-scale hardware

Actually, newer home routers come with QoS. Linksys WRT54G v5 to name one I have myself.

I really doubt adding another switch on top of the one built into the router would improve anything.
