Now... I'm getting quite sick of being lagged while playing online multiplayer games because of stupid people who spend hours watching youtube... So I want to turn their internet off.

I have tryed Remote Desktop Connection (which failed) to disable their internet connection, so the only other way I can think to do it is through the router.

I have an Asus WL520GC.
Is there an option or a way to block all traffic flowing to specific computers while keeping my connection alive?


I am getting quite sick of yelling "Get off the F****** internet!" XD

Nope there's no QoS unfortunantly.

haha. Yeah I have tried that. I don't think our network is set up correctly because nothing happens. All network related commands say that the computer does not exist or is unnavailiable. Also file sharing seems to be hit or miss. Some days it works perfectly, others it just doesn't.




Our modem and router are separate so i tried routing all the traffic from the modem to go to my computer only... But that also didn't work :(

Just go into the router and block their MAC address off the network so they actually can't access the internet or just add websites to the ban list in the router.

Simple task.
