Hey i have a problem every once in a while someone on my network will get download happy or something and make me lagg like a BI***!

is there a way through my router that i can limit bandwidth use? I have a CradlePoint MBR 10000 or something like that. I seen a few things that looked like they may be where i would put in some limitations but i have no clue what im doing so i hope i came to the right place to find out.

What i want to do is set it up where we will get even amounts of bandwidth....

give him like 6Kbps up and at least 30 down...

Thanks in advance.

mmmkay, its a home network.

4 users max, most of the time is only 2.

its a cradlepoint MBR 1000

and what i want to do is to limit the amount of speed or bandwidth he can use at once.... like i am sitting on my computer playing a game and he decides to download a movie or a song.... the minute he is sitting there downloading the song i am sitting at my computer lagging out and it takes 3-5 min to get everything i had up back up again. but if i cut his speed down he can still download at a reasonable speed and not kick me off....

I went into settings today on his limewire and cut the download speed back to 35mbps sec i think it was or 35Kbps.

Thanks alot for responding and i didn't mean to not give you enough information. I didn't know exactly what all you needed to be honest. anything else i can provide just ask...

Ok, here is what you could do.

Go to traffic shaping and make a rule for both of you and set your priority over his. That way you will always get packets through first, and it shouldn't drop your gaming bandwidth because it will make his packets get inline behind yours.

Try that
