Linksys WRT54GS

[repairman]

I have a Linksys WRT54GS and I have about 4 other people running off my Linksys, I have them wire into the ports. The problem is one of the users likes to play games all night long with a PlayStation and makes it were I cannt even get on line.

The Linksys lights looks like a UFO getting ready to fly off and talking with them about it is no good as its like talking to a person hooked on some kind of drug even watched them play one night and it was almost like seeing someone fighting in a real war or something? I just want to slow down the upload speed a little on the play station and make room for my internet basic use as I cannt even get to Yahoo without a 10 min wait when they are doing their thing.
In the Linksys WRT54GS gaming section of the linksys there is a tab called QsO ,Application Priority ,Device Priority,Ethernet Port Priority and Upstream Bandwidth I need the IP of the Playstation is there anyway I can get this without lookng on the machine? or is the IP a basic # on all playstations?

I can slow them down a bit and still let them use my internet and not make them upset a lot as the speed always up and down anyway. It would just be nice to check my mail without making a real time war with a game that is real to a PlayStation user. any ideal?

Doesn't really sound right, playing games does not saturate broadband, even sending voices over broadband is insignificant.

only large downloads/p2p would bring your connection to a crawl.

because well if yahoo takes forever then imagine the lag in games, it would be unplayable, so something else is going on.

if it is a flashable wrt54gs you can install ddwrt/tomato and then you have all sorts of bandwidth controls. you can set port priority which is the most simple way of doing it, and of course set application priority where bittorrent packets are treated as bulk, which would probably give everyone a better experience.
