    I have a business retail where I use wifi Sirius radio and also allows employees and customers to connect. However, if there are too much activities, it causes my Sirius radio to stutter (slow buffering). How can I give my Sirius radio high priority and lower all other connections?

    I am currently using Belkin N Vision which I do not see anyway to do this. Is there a router that can do what I described above?

    Thank you,
    Simon

    Any router that would be able to use DD-WRT would be able to have some traffic management on it. The default firmwares usually are very broadly managed, but the DD-WRT really allows you to take control on your router.

    DLink routers have a very Qos where you can set priorities and traffic shaping a tonne of other features.
