Are there any wireless routers that would allow me to see what clients are hogging up bandwidth and that would let me limit them so that they can't grab it all? Both wifi-wise and internet-wise.
I would be especially interested in one what would let me set a default limit for everyone but certain computers.
Example usage could be to set up a hot-spot at an event with many visitors and prevent some of them from grabbing all the bandwidth by running bittorrent transfers or something like that.

What router do you have? Many have "Quality of Service" settings built in to automatically prioritize internet traffic - especially HTTP requests and gaming, while minimizing the priority of P2P traffic. – Breakthrough – 2009-09-10T21:54:24.147
