Setting up WGR614 v.7

[kossie03]

Hi,

I have recently purchased a Netgear WGR614 v.7 router for use with my cable broadband connection from Virgin Media. After a month of the connection being fine, we (i live in a shared house with another 6 computers attached) noticed that one computer in particular was getting the lions share of the connection whilst the other 5 were finding it difficult to load up and search via google.

I am just asking for a way of perhaps limiting this connection and maybe partitioning itso each computer receives the same amount of bandwidth, rather than having one that eats the entire connection using bittorrent programs.

Thanks guys and I hope there's someone who can help me with this.

You can easily do this if you login to the router's config pages, and I believe it may be under QoS, or something like that, but Im sure someone will be along soon to add more info for you!

You could also use access restrictions to limit the "hogger(s)" time to when the rest aint using the net.

You could also get the hogging PC's BitTorrent program to limit it's connection to a much fairer chunk of bandwidth, you'll find limiting upstream has the best effect.
