My roommates are hogging the internet connection?
We have a 2Wire and I'm getting fed up. I have online classes and they know they're not supposed to be using it when I'm on. Is there a way I can limit their access? Does 2wire support QoS?
Also they have an inefficient Macintosh piece of crap that uses more bandwidth than it should to surf the web. Is there a way to limit their internet speed on the Macintosh itself? They don't bother to put a password on it.
Yes I've talked to them. They're too inconsiderate to limit themselves. I'm only living here until I can move out in the Summer and either Tweedledee or Tweedledum lost the whole stinking package when I let him try and use my router for an ill fated lan party so the manual is out of the question.
It is my internet. No, I'm not locking them out with the password I just need to limit their speed while I'm on blackboard.

Get your own internet service and quit whining. It ain't all about you Forest.
EDIT: That makes your question even worse. It's YOUR internet, all you need do is block them. You would rather whine about it than do something about it? .

Look bud its your internet, either man up and block them or you could do the more civilized thing and talk to them about them chip in so you guys can get a faster connection with more bandwidth.
I had a similar situation only in this case i have the "Macintosh piece of crap" and my PC using roommates were hogging all of the bandwidth with WOW and XBL, while i was trying to do tests and such. We all sat down like gents and we agreed that the easiest thing to do was to pay more get more bandwidth and split the bill.

1. check the 2wire router model
2. get the manual.
3. get on the GUI. usually using the IP 192.168.1.254.
4. on manual or GUI look for turn off the wi-fi.
5. use a ethernet cable. Why? if you already talked to them and they don't care you should not care either.
6. get some rude guys for support because this is not going to end well...
good luck!

Simply! Just Enable the QoS option in your ADSL Wireless Router. QoS(Quality of Service) facilitates enables you the quality and speed of throughput for each application and connection when the system is running with full upstream load. Secondly, if it asks for DSCP mark vale then select default(000000). as it is the best effort and default option for QoS. DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) mark allows users to classify the traffic of the application to be executed according to the DSCP value. they are defined and enabled by default in Queue Config option..... and Probably You will find QoS in "Advance Setup" menu of control panel of router.
Don't go for the DD-WRT firmaware options.. simply enabling it works fine!

read your manual, they're great for this sort of info.
or maybe even get into the gui of the gateway and look.
2wire will have the manual on the site, so it'snot out of the queisotn.
besides, you dont really need it, simply log onto the router/gateway and see. it's pretty simple.
btw, just saying you have 2wire doesnt tell us anything about the model...

Contact with your internet provider for better solution.

Without knowing what hardware you have, I can't say you can do it, but with the right hardware it COULD be done.

Have you ever considered simply talking and explaining the situation?
