Hi,



I have a roommate who's using 80% of our bandwidth using p2p networking. Is there a way to limit his bandwidth since he's using a wireless connection? I see the QOS panel on the router (Linksys wrt54g V4) allows users to limit bandwidth on wired computers. There is a section called "Wireless Qos," but the only item under there is a drop-down menu-- "WMM Support"--which you can enable/disable. I don't see anywhere where I can limit his bandwidth so I get at least half of it.
