I'm the account holder for a BT Broadband service with the router BT Home Hub 3.0B. Say I want to give limited wireless access to a couple of housemates, can I do this with this router? I want to maintain full speed (or as close to it as possible) for myself while allowing them limited bandwidth. I can't see a way in the router settings of achieving this.

Few consumer routers have bandwidth control like this IME. I doubt the
BT HH will. I suggest buying a better router.

Also please not post HTML on this NG.

in the old days something like an access point connected via a serial link as a throttle would have been something to cobble up.

Sadly even a 10Mbps ethernet link s well able to saturate most DSL connections.


Frankly you are likely to spend more on any solution than simply upping your bandwidth limits and charging the housemates.
