Binky Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hey guys! Im living in a shared house and we wanted to set the wireless priority so the users with exams/essays to write get most priority of the wireless(or if not, by cable). I was wondering if there was anyway of setting this, and anyway without having to install it on all the computers as a few of the people are being abit uncoporative about it.

digip Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Your router would ahve to have the capability to do traffic shaping or QOS per port, or if you had a switch, you could force certain ports to 10mbit speeds with others full duplex 100, then they wouldnt be able to connect unless they set their cards to use 10mbit only on certain ports. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/What_...pecial_Versions http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&saf...rts&spell=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
systemd0wn Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 First check if your router supports Quality of Service (QoS). If it does look at the settings. You should see options based on physical port and most likely MAC. Your best bet is to base it on MAC. Note that if a user uses both wifi and occasionally uses Ethernet you will have to configure the settings for this as well. Try DD-WRT, or tomato http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato Good luck!

systemd0wn Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 lopez, you could at least say you got that from the official tomato website: http://www.polarcloud.com/img/ssqosc108.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor512 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 tomato FTW when it comes to QOS and network performance, tomato does a much better job, it uses less memory so theres more available for handling tons of connections it also has a much better QOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
