I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to cap wireless internet for computers in my network. My sister is a heavy downloader and so am I so I need to know how to cap her internet, probably around 20 kb/s or something.
I'm using a Linksys wireless BEFW11S4 router and I don't see an internet cap option anywhere in the router setup

Some Linksys routers have QoS (Quality of Service) settings that can let you, say, give one machine higher priority than another machine, which I believe would solve your problem with the greatest plausible deniability
. My WRT54GL does. You may need to flash in the newest firmware first.

Problem is that I don't have the WRT54GL and I don't see an option in my router... is there another way? A 3rd party program maybe?

If you is using P2P, in the setup you can set limits. Otherwise you will need to upgrade your router or buy a managed switch.

So no way huh? Dang it

Not with a cheap home/desktop router.
You'd need to get a higher grade router, or you could build a linux gateway box and set up packet filtering/traffic shaping.
Anyone know how to cap wireless internet?
