Limiting Wifi throughput?

[caulkz]

Is there a way to throttle the wireless throughput on my 7800N?

Thanks in advance

Perhaps limit by IP address using the QoS function.

I would like to limit only wireless ports via QOS, is the possible?

Parents guests likes to saturate my broadband connection using their wireless enabled equipment e.g. netbook laptop etc. :/

I would guess so.

If the allowed equipment , ie your PC/Laptop etc has fixed IP addresses then you could conceivably limit the DHCP range (nn.nn.n.100 - nn.nn.n.199) to , say , 10% of your bandwidth. Then set yours to 90%.

By fixed I mean either within DHCP or set by network adaptor.

Or you could do it by prioritization with yours being high & the others being low. This is perhaps the better option.

Note that you would lose a little of your total throughput by doing this.

Apologies if the following question is a little off topic:

Will the router see my PC if I give it a static IP outside the DHCP range?

Yes, it will.

It will be exactly the same as when a static IP has been assigned to a wireless printer outside the DHCP range, or even another pc running off the same router to prevent it from picking up the same IP as the main pc.

I gave the following a try and seem's to work:

Limited the DHCP range through QOS and any pc I don't want to be limited I gave a static IP outside that range.

Cheers guys for the help
