Need help in this LAN situation?
Hi all
I have an ADSL connection in my house through the ZTE modem (ZXV10 W300). My problem is I need to have some control on the connected computers like allowing or disallowing some content like videos, flash, etc. probably throttling some bandwidth on some hosts or even block them!. I don't ask all of these but at least something that helps control the bandwidth on each computer. Any suggestion is helpful.

Hi Abdullah,
Traffic shaping is really a more enterprise-level feature, there's really two things you can do without spending a ton of money:
1) Flash a custom firmware on your router, the firmware that will do what you're looking for is Toastman's Tomato build. This has really good QoS, similar to enterprise-level. Consumer-level QoS is useless, all it does is limit the bandwidth for certain ports, but sometimes it'll limit things to like 64Kbps or something stupid like that. Never trust consumer QoS.
2) Install a program like NetLimiter on each client machine. This is better if you don't have a ton of machines, but it's the easiest solution.
Hope this helps,
Cheers

The ZXV10 W300 is capable of doing everything you stated. If your ISP provided the modem Call your ISP and have them help you set it up the way you want it. If you bought the modem yourself you will need to read the manual and do the setup yourself.
