Okay so I am having issues with people on the network using netflix and not being courteous to others. Hence they are hogging the connection. When asked to watch lower quality they will not oblige and tell us to fuck off basically. Enough is enough. I been looking around and found this. http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.ratelimit.single.html How easy is this to do on a Linksys Wrt54Gl with DD-WRT. I have been told it is straight forward but I don't want to bork my router. I need to limit lan port 4 to no faster then 256kbps. The
reason I decided on that number is because we only have a 2-3.5mbps connection. It varies in that range. The clients using the most of the connection do not pay a dime to live here and have harped me many times to get the internet working for them out there. Since I have fixed it again our data usage has almost tripled at times.
My setup is like this.
Netgear is daisy chained to my linksys through port 4. The users in question all use the wifi network from the netgear.
[DD-WRT]-----------lan port 4------[netgear] ~~~~~~ wifi clients..
50ft ethernet cord
