How to limit bandwidth on a D-Link 615?

[johnw91498]

I've got two roommates who share the DSL. We're paying for a 6meg download from AT&T. Usually it's not a problem as we all have different schedules, but with the holidays, we're all at home at the same time. Is there a way to cut up the bandwidth at 2 megs apiece for each of our computers?

Thanks in advance.

Not with the DIR-615. You can't control downstream bandwidth use.

Bummer...thanks. It looks like I'll have to upgrade.

Draytek routers provide bandwidth control in both directions with different bandwidth caps by IP address.

Would an upgrade to the D-link 655 do what I'm trying to achieve? Can QOS be configured to control traffic?

Thank in advance.

Nope. There are no alternative distros for Ubicom-based routers and the QoS is uplink only.

Thanks.

How about the Netgear 3700?

Nope. Sorry.

Is there any router that Frys sell that would do the job? I can't even find a Draytek on most comerce websites.
