Wireless bandwidth restriction

I dont believe DLink has that capability, but other, higher-end routers do.

Although this router cannot restrict the bandwidth of a given user there are programs that will do this for you. All you do is install the program on your pc and it will configure the network according to your specifications. You can restrict access bandwidth by mac, time of day and even type of traffic. I'll see if I can find that beast for ya and post the info here.

No. Two problems.

1. Dlink has QoS but only by type of service, not by user IP or MAC. See this page in your router:

Crude. I'm not sure I would even call that thing QoS but I guess Dlink does.

1. I use several bandwidth managers that run on PC's and insert them between the DSL modem and the router. For example, dummynet:
   formatting link
   formatting link
   problem with the DI-634M is that it has an internal DSL modem and there's no place to insert the QoS control box. This is yet another reason why methinks conglomerated all in one units are not a great idea.

I'm not sure what to suggest as just about anything needed to control the bandwidth will require replacing the DI-634M.

Dlink have a slightly more, um, sophisticated version they call Gamefuel. Hmm. The emulator's here, but I have no idea how to log in to it:

Click login No password

Not used this myself

I guess you're responding to my post about the DGL 4300. I tried that, it didn't go anywhere. That's with Firefox. Hang on, I'll try a different browser -- nope, doesn't work with Safari either.

Not possible, as Jeff has pointed out.

p.s. Please do a better job of trimming your quotes. Thanks.

The login works with IE7 but doesn't work with Firefox 2.0. I'm too lazy to try the others (opera, Netscape, Slimbrowser). However, you can bypass the initial login in Firefox by going directly to the URL. Try:

Looks like GameFuel rules are per protocol and per source and destination IP address, not per MAC address.

Just for comparison, this is what the DD-WRT QoS page looks like:

Note that rules can be by MAC address. Also note the pull down under "Service Priority" which includes the usual list of IP service, but also adds a large number of common online games. That sure saves a bunch of effort building per-port rules.
