Hi MajorDisaster,

Simple: Use Guest SSID and configure it to a slower speed and while changing your own SSID Signal Name to a different name, so others can't tell what is going on.

Hi MajorDisaster,

Again easy. Log into the Router. Click and Enable Guest Zone. Read the instruction in Help.

http://192.168.0.1/Advanced/Guest_Zone.shtml (http://192.168.0.1/Advanced/Guest_Zone.shtml)

I would rename the main SSID Signal Name to something else.

Name the Guest Zone to what you had named the Main SSID Signal Name.

I never used the Guest Zone, as I never had need to. I use the Network Filter and just allow people I want to have Internet Access.

Hi MajorDisaster,

Eddie is right, you can't set the speeds for those computers. I thought it was possible using Wish and Access Control, but I never did it myself and don't know if it works or not.

If you don't wish to block those computers, just set Access Control to control the times those computers can access your Router and the Internet.

Just a thought, but if you dont otherwise need your wireless, set it for .11B only, altho as I write this, I am not sure that you can do it on this router......

It would not limit the speed of those two devices, but it would make sure the rest of your devices could step in ahead of them when needed.
