@ syn ... perhaps your solution to roommate bittorrent downloading?

Quote:
Throttling your bandwidth by program

While most routers treat one request for bandwidth the same as any other, your new $600 router is a step above. By setting up QoS (Quality of Service) rules, you can give priority to your interactive traffic (like VoIP, web browsing, or gaming) while throttling traffic that doesn’t require a steady rate of bandwidth to function (like P2P programs).

Doing so will ensure that even if your network gets clogged with lots of file sharing, you’ll still have enough bandwidth left over to make all of your free SkypeOut phone calls. If you’ve got roommates who tend to sponge up a lot of bandwidth, you can even prioritize by IP address.

Thats very well known.

The best firmware (imo) can be found on www.dd-wrt.com

It won`t work with Version 5 of the wrt54x.

There is also a wiki about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-WRT

and yes - it works perfectly with all filesharing protocols.
qos,wds,client,client bridged, several independent wlans on one router, XBOX Kaid support, pptp, wol, sputnik and chillispot, adjustable power output up to 251 mw, and all other things you desire...

I own 5 of these... =)

Frickin' shit, I can't log onto my routers user interface bcause I can't get to the fucking interface. I have a Siemens Gigaset SE505. I have contacted customer support but they sent me a message saying something like "Due to the the complicity of this issue please send us another message in german" and i'm like "Whatta fuck?!11oneoneeleven" GERMAN!! Fucking crappy customer support. So I've tried 3 IP's to get to the interface "192.168.0.1" that's what it's set here, "192.168.2.1" that's the one that's default and what it says in the manual and then 192.168.1.1 like it says on that page. It's driving me mad bcause i can't put WEP encryption or anything on it!

Oh, and this may be hard to read so sry.
