I am looking for a new wireless router that should automatically distribute available bandwidth to all users connected (up to 10 via wifi), particularly avoiding situations where some (one) user sucks all bandwidth. More than lowering downloads (P2P, http, etc) priority, the problem seems to be related to users watching online videos (youtube, etc).
In conclusion, what kind of QoS service should I look for?
Do you need more fine grained control than what a typical router's QoS settings provide? Rate limiting based on the user sounds like it would work fine here. – Tanner Faulkner – 2012-12-31T15:11:48.180
I don't' know really... ideally the router should be able to automatically stop users to steal whole bandwidth, or set a lower priority for "bad" users, or set a low priority for particular data. However I suspect some video streaming is being transferred over http, if this is the case I wouldn't be able to use protocol filtering without restricting ordinary web users... – Riccardo – 2012-12-31T18:15:11.313
