A friend of me asked me a question like that
I have a modem, and a house mate. He is using my modem, and slowing down my internet. What I want to do is, limit his bandwidth without using any program like netlimiter or so on his computer. How can I do that?
What are the ways to do this?

flash the router with 3 party SW/FW http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index then it will support QoS
go to the page then to the Router Database, type in the name and se if it supports dd-wrt. If it does your in luck dd-wrt is one of the best router sw you can use out there.

Some routers support QoS which will allow you to limit or prioritize Internet bandwith to the various devices on the LAN.

Sure, but if his modem doesn't support it, he would have to replace it. And I doubt that a router that does QoS is cheap. – o0'. – 2010-05-06T08:33:06.850
2@Lo'oris: Well, that's where Tomato or DD-WRT comes in. They do QoS, and you don't need a fancy expensive router. – Phoshi – 2010-05-06T08:58:59.043
great, I didn't think about it – o0'. – 2010-05-06T09:03:19.193
I didn't try it, but I will mark it as answer. Thanks – user33715 – 2010-05-07T05:45:43.710
