I know this might sound really stupid, but i seriously need your help..
My brother just came back home and he started using Internet like crazy, i know this is normal, but when you live on the countryside, where your max connection is 560kb/s it's a big deal. He started downloading stuff like a madman and he's currently downloading LoL with all the updates, which will take over 12 hours, using up over half the bandwith. Luckily he doesn't know a lot about computers, so when he started using a lot i just turned off Wireless from the Router's config from my PC, stopping all his downloads and since i didn't touch the box, nobody suspects, but now he started plugging his notebook via LAN so i can't use that plan. Is there a way i can lower the max speed that a PC can recieve via the router's menu? Seriously, i would post a pic of Speedtest pic of my current internet speed but the site won't load claiming a network error (because it takes forever to load), and worst of all, Steam won't open. If there is a solution, help me please :<. |

The simple answer is no.
The more elaborate answer is no unless you have a much more expensive than normal home router that would normally be found in a large business that has that sort of feature, or you have a dedicated PC firewall. |

Do you also turn off the hot water heater when your brother is in the shower?
I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, he may be evil. But at parties I like to play the game of "Pick one: Internet or Hot Water?" and the results usually run pretty close. So this is to feed by professional interest. Thanks. |
