Limit max wifi bandidth speed

I am using a D-link di-524 router and a user on the wifi connection seems to slow web browsing down to a crawl. I was just wondering if the was a way to limit the badwith of the wireless connection.

Thanks.
 
Find said user and pimpslap him/her. 😛 😀

I don't think there's a way on that particular model, as I have it myself.

I'm sure that there is no way to do it through the router itself, but i though that there would be an application that could do it. I have found applications to limit speeds of a lan network and i tried the ip address of the wireless connected computer, but it did not limit it's speed. Thats why i just want to limit the overall speed of the wireless connection.

You could configure the router to limit the wireless speed to 1.5MBps - check the connection settings. 802.11b can auto-adjust speeds downwards to compensate for network interference, and many routers have a way to force this as well. Not sure if the DI524 does; I own it, but I haven't had reason to put the brakes on. 😛

I still advocate the "End-User Correction" though.

Read up on a program called netlimiter (don't have a link offhand.) But it has to be installed and maintained on the offending computer.
 
I found this area in my router and was wondering if these settings can affect the speed:
Should i change one of these settings?

Pull that down - should be a bunch of settings. Choose the lowest throughput one (probably 1.5MBps) and voila. Alternatively, you could try sabotaging the output by cutting the antenna power to 25% 😉
