How to block BT by router?

It is a D-Link DI784 router.

A computer connects to that router and keeps making it disconnect. No port forwarding was done but it still seems pretty fast during BT. Someone told me it is related to UPnP issue and I should disable it inside the router.

Is there anything I can do on the router side to slow down, or even block that computer from using BT? And if so, how?

Thanks.

smack the person using it?

Unplug the persons cable until they have more respect for the other users?

Since it is easy to use peer to peer over port 80, it is near impossible to block these types of traffic at layer 2,3. you will need a smart proxy that can look inside the packet to determine the application and block traffic on layer 7.

like the other guy said, just disable their network connection if they do not comply.

They all tunnel over 80 these days like freshprince said. You'd need something with packet analysis or signature based tech.

Get a flashable WRT54G, flash it and assign the BTs with 100Kb/sec. Bandwidth. ;)

Disabling UPnP will stop most BT clients, or at least slow them down. The rest, as has been mentioned, tunnel over port 80.

Anything else I can think of short of complex stuff involving server OSes has already been mentioned.
