    Hi all,

    So atm, there's a pc connected via lan and one at wireless, the lan one is doing a lot of downloaded (sisters computer), and it's doing my head in, I can't online game, and pages are slow to load.

    How can I restrict how much bandwith she can use? I've got a linksys WAG354G, and googled everywhere but there's no option on my router it seems. Is there a program I can use?

    Cheers :)

    It requies a router capable of supporting QoS. Or some managed switches have band width control.

    Some of the lunix firmware for linksys routers support this.

    You need to rethink using wireless for gaming. You will have problem with lag.
