I have a 10MB down and 1 MB up connection with my ISP.

Shouldn't I own the bandwidth even if it other IP's connect? Otherwise I would have to create rules for every PC.

I guess you want them to have a decent connection also? When you 'congest' the uplink, their general http performance will be really bad (if the http request cannot be send, the reponse will take some time too)

Something else is going on there. 2 wireless clients streaming youtube will not congest a 10/1 pipe.
You have something else going on there.

i'm telling you it's impossible for a wireless G client to use the entire bandwidth of a 10mb connection (especially DOWN) on just you tube. Their running torrents or something P2P. They HAVE to be. Or your router is broken.

I hear you. If they are running torrents (or infecting with something sucking everything up) I'll see by looking into the log tonight  and post back. Since torrent can be set to using any ports are there any types of activity that I should keep an eye on?

Can the router be broken just by using it? If it was broken wouldn't I see it in my daily data transfers between my wired clients? Unless there are several seperate components that don't rely on eachother. Are there any tests I could do to ensure that the device is ok?

Thanks

There are a few things you can do.
1) bind the MAC addresses of their laptops to specific IPs using DHCP reservation. This will allow you to ensure you know what their IP addresses are.
2) Activate WiSH and lock BOTH of them to the lowest priority.
3) Get a network monitor (preferably one that sits between the modem and the router. This will allow you to anaylize the traffic coming in and out of your network [requires a PC])

Does QoS rate your connection properly for the UPstream connection?

Hey Lycan, thanks for the info. I'll follow your steps as soon as I have time to test it. Probobly this weekend. AS for QOS..the  rates is correct.

Thansk for your help.
