Limit bandwith on network of computers
- by Joseph34123
We have network in office of approximately 10 computers sometimes when someone downloads something for work (e.g. syncing email with an attachment or Dropbox), everyone slows down. I could limit each computer in office but the problem is that we have an open WiFi network, and I cannot access the computers that use it.
We have one main DSL router "Netopia 3347" and another router connected to it on wire for public wifi is "Linksys WRT110".
I cannot change the setup we have and don't want to. There's 2 approaches here:
Set office computers download limit in each computer and then I need to find out how I can set a download limit for the wifi network such as in the router settings. It's a Linksys router and I did not see the option for this, so maybe I need new router for WiFi?
Don't bother with each computer and put some "specific hardware" or another computer before router so all traffic goes trough it and I can then assign priority maximum speed for each IP address.
Question is what hardware do I need?
