I have an apartment with a shared internet connection with a roommate. I'm paying for all internet costs because he says he "doesn't use it as much as I do". He frequently slows my connection down by downloading movies and probably porn. Time to bottleneck this douche.

I have an ASUS WL-520GU
All four slots are hardwired: my computer, his computer, PS3 in the main room, printer.
Plus several mobile devices are connected via wireless throughout the day.

I only want to bottleneck his computer.

How do I do it?
 
lol or install a pay per use captive portal then it can be just like a hotel $12 for 24 hours of internet
 
I have dd-wrt on my 520gu and it doesn't support throttling per connection, iv read on there forums though the paid version does, or you can run a script to throttle. Im not sure what tomato offers as i have never used it, but might want to look into that too.

If you wanted to discreetly unplug him, you could also block his MAC address from accessing the internet, and not have to worry about him plugging in while your at work, or school, or just out of sight of the router.
