just curious, with DD-WRT enabled can you limit bandwidth/speed on each connection on top of monitoring?
I just tried test setting QoS with DD-WRT yesterday on my WRT54GL. Basically in QoS, I setup my main PC MAC address as exempt which gives it full speed. While for wireless connections, I set up a total SHARED download of 250kb/s and upload of 50kb/s. For my laptop, I added that MAC address and set it up as Premium. Other devices that use wireless I just didnt bother enterining the address.

DD-WRT QoS can do a shared download/upload only unless I think you pay for the special edition then you can individually setup the max up and down for each computer.

For example if Im using my wireless laptop watching youtube and downstairs tenants using wireless at the same time. I get 75% of the bandwidth towards my laptop since its set to premium priority. If im not using then downstairs get the 100% bandwidth.
