Title: How to control the video streaming??
Post by: jason_90h on September 27, 2010, 07:30:14 PM

Hi Folks,

Anyone know how to control the video streaming such as YouTube & PPStream
in this router ??? Possible to restrict or lower down the speed/traffic for such application in order to make the equal use of bandwitdh within the network users??

Gruss/Regards,
Jason G.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain the firmware doesn't support bandwidth throttling.

Bandwidth throttling is not supported by the official firmware and is hard to do in firmwares like DD-wrt. If the problem is that someone is using the internet so much that the others can't use the internet you can activate "Quality of Service" (QoS). QoS tries to split the bandwith up so there's some for all application, not more specific than that though.

+1 to what Carbonic said.

But you still have "some" control. You could use access control and block HTML to some computers at some times. Or you could set a trigger to log access. Or just block some high use sites. Maybe if you explain why your looking to control it I could be of more help?
