right i've been trying to work out how to use QOS on my router, i want to limit the bandwidth on newsgroups as my dad downloads a lot from newsgroups and it's lagging the shit out of my x box games when i play on x box live :)
anyone know a good simple site to help me? google has so far thrown degree level shit at me!
What router?
may help huh, it's a speedtouch 510 and i have to config it through the telnet menu as it's not got the settings on the flashy menu, i think there maybe a firmware update with improved QOS menu added but i can't find it on there silly site :(
quite an old router but i love it, got it because it was one of the rare routers that supported UPnP at the time.
I didnt think QOS had anything to do with port throttling....
i read on the web somewhere it did! now i'm confused :-S can a router do port throttling? i'd rather do it on the router than a seperate program that would probably crash or get closed down by the user.
You would probably need to spend a bit of money on a decent router/firewall (no offence to your existing one ;)), I've got a Draytek Vigor2900 and it does VLAN's and stuff, QOS and throttling if you want it to. I've never used these features, but it does do them...

my router does do it it seems but i don't understand it enough to work it haha :-P router cost me £150 a few years back it must be now!
hmmm seems the latest firmware has better QOS on it but i'm scared of firmware updates :)
dont be, firmware is only risky on computers, because you have to use the computer to flash it, if u balls it up u will have nothing to flash it with, but the router is flashed via the computer, so dont be scared...
ohh it has a nice proggy to do it for me, think i'll do it as the firmware adds some cool stuff to play with! i'm a bit old skool and i'm used to dos flashing stuff :-P
firmware ect is off the speedtouch site and has been out for a while so should be fine i hope :)
Well, if you don't post for a while we'll know why!
SAR710 IIRC, maybe the 702. Got one or two here - they're fine as long as you don't do p2p as they can't handle the load!
I bought my first ISDN card from them, made me an LPB in Quake2 ;)
