| 1118886 | 2010-07-15 08:16:00 | Grab a router which supports the Tomato firmware, and use the QoS in that. It's excellent, and allows you to do things like shape certain traffic to 64k, allow others unrestricted access, etc. My favourite router for running 3rd party firmware at the moment is the Asus RT-N16 - it's fast, has a ton of memory and ROM, and did I mention it's fast? It runs Tomato nicely: tomatousb.org That Asus RT-N16 looks nice but is there a cheaper version without wireless? I don't want to pay for that since I wouldn't use it. I already have a separate access point that isn't in the same location as the ADSL equipment, and I prefer to have the ability to change devices independently. |

| 1118887 | 2010-07-15 11:22:00 | What somebody said. DD-WRT is build on the OpenWRT firmware, as are pretty much all other router firmwares under the sun. Pretty much all the devices are just WAP's, no ADSL. Gotta have wireless. Get Tomato, see here: c2s.co.nz Once it's installed, there's a QoS how-to here: www.c2s.co.nz It's not too hard to set it up for specific things, and there are a few ways you could try and tackle the likes of YouTube. That said, at the end of the day, if you want YouTube to *work*, you've gotta give it some bandwidth... Don't bother with DD-WRT, I found it's QoS shabby at best, not worth wasting time on. Could have just been me at the time, but Tomato is *so* much nicer, why wouldn't you ;) |

Try other Asus routers in the RT-Nxx series, such as the RT-N12. I've used Tomato briefly on one of those, and it seemed fine - but I didn't try out the QoS component. |
