Affordable router that has bandwidth management features?

[MrMaxwell]

I want to give my neighbors access but I want to either limit it OR have some kind of prioritization feature where their traffic can't ever fuck with mine
Does it exist?

[MrMaxwell]

The only solution I came up with thus far is to use this older router I have and only enable B and G
That is kind of a dumb solution

[sandman!]

no there is nothing cheap that will do that.

Yep, cheap, good, does the job: pick two.

The closest you'll find on the consumer market with traffic prioritisation features for guests is something like this below.

Those are nice routers but I had them a lot
Is the athena pretty good?

[MrMaxwell]

There must be some way to do this
What about making an extra computer into a repeater and using a software solution?

I would like to limit them to about 30 megs
Looks like B would give them 11 megs while G would give them 54
(I'm just thinking about making them a second hotspot by wiring their router to my main router which should limit them)

But prioritization would be great because I want the best ping times on earth possible

Try this:
IPCop - Home

Take a look at the NetGear routers. The one I have has a separate SSID just for guest with separate passwords, etc. When someone attaches as guest, they don't see any of the devices you have unless you allow it.

Seems to do exactly as MrMaxwell needs which is the type of thing I need to tbh. I have guests stay & it's not the first time using their phone & IPad at the same time reduced our IPTV down just a bit too much. Thanks for the link
