http://serverfault.com – How to limit bandwidth speed from a router for a devices on a network ? There are several devices accessing the internet thru a wireless network. I cannot change settings directly on the client-computers, but can have full access to the router. Problem is that one of the computers on the network consumes a lot of bandwidth - due to constant downloads - severely limiting the network speed on other devices on the network. Is there any way to limit the bandwidth on that computer ? The router in use is Digicom Wireless Router, Model no. 5314T. Any help shall be greatly appreciated. (HowTos)

Can we get the network bandwidth usage statistics (of single computer) within a LAN by using SNMP queries?

Thanks.

Edit: I mean to say that we can query a router to get informations such as number of interfaces, total bandwidth usages etc.

We have a small office network with DSL and a Netgear WNR-2000 wireless router acting as a DHCP server. There are nine devices connected to the router, wirelessly and wired. Whenever a Mac computer tries to connect, it's unsuccessful until we restart the router.

I have a client that has a basic network that uses comcast cable. He bought a NETGEAR N300 wireless router which has a 192,.168.3.X network and he attempted to add it to his 10.10.10.X network and all is fine. He laptops and such can get to the internet fine. The issue is he cannot get to any of his devices on his 10.X network.

I am trying to build a linux router (captive portal) with a local RADIUS server for authentication.

I want to log the bandwidth being used by each client on my network. I want to associate bandwidth at a given point in time with MAC address. My question is, how can I get the bandwidth of a current client on my network?

I have a mainly windows house with a notebook running Fedora 11. The problem is that when this computer is on the wireless network it shows no computers on the network. It gives me the error that it can't retrieve the shared list from server. However when I am using it on the wired part of the same network it will see all of the other computers.

Linksys router slowness 3 years 13 weeks ago

My home network consists of three computers plugged into a Linksys wireless router. Occasionally, about once a week lately, I've noticed very slow network speeds. At first I'd reboot my desktop machine, but that didn't seem to help. Now I've found by power cycling the router, my network speed returns to normal.
