Hello Revscene,
I have shaw broadband 50, and have been enjoying its speed for quite some time. I have it set up with a
Netgear WNDR3700v3. I share my WiFi with all my tenants and have had no problems until now.
New tenants run torrents 24/7, constantly downloading movies (in full HD) + torrents (and seeding), streaming movies/tv shows on youtube in full HD, skyping etc. and due to this stress my router has started intermittently cutting out lately + giving my unresponsive internet. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm getting close to my bandwidth cap (I torrent, my sister torrents, lots of HD streaming + tenants are abusing the shit out of my generous free WiFi)
Ontop of this, I recently set up a few IP security cameras + connected our CCTV system via ispyconnect to the internet, and now it's super laggy because they hog the bandwidth.
I don't want to macid ban them, but i do want to get my bandwidth back and set a cap on their bandwidth. If it is also possible, I'd like to block torrent ports for them during certain hours. How can I go about doing this? Is anyone familiar with custom firmware for this router? I'm a total networking noob and have no idea where to start.
I've seen a few posts about people having success with my router and DD-WRT and 'Gargoyles' ... anyone care to shed some light?
Thanks in advance revscene
