Home "router" with bandwidth control?

No_Style · Nov 11, 2004, 05:41 PM

I'm not looking for anything at the enterprise level. I'm looking for a home "router" with bandwidth control capabilities. I want to limit a certain bandwidth cap for my 3 computers I'm using now. I prefer Linksys, but any other brand with this feature is worth my consideration as well.

Thanks

Not sure if you'll be able to find one that does that at a decent price. I think it would be cheaper to use something like NetLimiter

I'd like to see a router that does that though if anyone knows of one

Yeah, I ran into that program while doing some searches on Google. I really would prefer it to be on the hardware than have it on my machines. I asked a networking 'guru' I know and he says nothing of that sort exists for "home" use.

Yeah, I don't think there is one for home use. Though, I did see one wireless router that had a hacked firmware made for it, that did include that feature.
