home wifi network needs updating?
Discussion
I'm on Virgin cable interweb, ex Blueyonder Telewest. We have a cable modem thing and then a router which sends to 3 fixed PC's plus 2 wifi base thingies.
The problem I have is that the kids are taking most of my bandwidth with webcam and VOIP and X Box or whatever it is.
Is there a router that will let me choose what bandwidth to what PC/base station and let them suffer the rest?

Yesterday the router packed up. Went to PCW and bought a new router with 4 wired LANs and wifi built in, plus a 8 switch. All plumbed in nicely now - removed the old wifi senders as the new router/sender works better than the previous 2 senders signal wise. All nice & secure too.
But, the reason for my slowish broadbean was that when Telewest upgraded to 10mb they were meant to send us a new modem. They've since done an upgrade to 20mb, still the old modem so its only capable of 4mb. They are now crediting us, and sending a new modem. Zoooooooom.
