Is there any way to speed cap a certain user on my network to slower speeds?

Thanks!

The 3rd party firmware for that router will let you do that i think.

However what you're asking for is traffic/bandwidth shaping, and is a pretty advanced feature. A feature that businesses pay in to the mid 5 figures to license.

Perhaps, risk for avoiding the warranty though. However, there are few wireless router will priorities the connection and modifies its percentage of bandwidth for certain local address! :)
