Default Wifi Bandwith priority setting ??
Does anyone know how to setup wifi bandwith priority for certain devices/mac addresses.

One of my son's tablets seems to be really aggressive and steals all the bandwidth.
If 3 machines (Samsung Tab7, Archos Colbalt & a laptop) are online, the Archos seems to grab most of the bandwith.

As soon as the Archos wifi is turned off the other 2 machines go back to normal.

I have just had fibre installed as I thought the bottlekneck was the internet, but it seems to be the Wifi.

I think I have a spare router in the loft, could I set up a network/sub-network specific for the Archos ??

Have a look to see if there is a QoS or WMM configuration in your router, you may be able to set priority via IP or MAC address. Think it depends on the Router.

Looked at Qos last night. It seems a bit complicated and from what I have read I'm not sure it will do what I am after.
The router does support it (hg533) but there are a lot of options under Qos
