Alright, Im haveing this problem with bandwidth distribution. Im running two computers off of one cable modem and I want them to both receive the same amount of bandwidth so that neither of them is bogging down the other one by doing too much stuff at once.
The main reason for me wanting to do this is because im running wireless internet to my room and my step dad is running a direct connect (ethernet cord from the router to his computer). Im only getting about 35-55% signal strength in my room, so because of this when he goes to play his party poker or starts downloading his porn, I get shafted and start laggin real bad in City of Heros. Im already lossing speed on the signal problem, I don't need to lose more through this either.
I have looked around and came up with nothing. I don't know how to write code in any language and I can't accomplish this simply by changing some settings in my router.
I need something that will split the bandwidth evenly, down and up stream. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
SOME INFORMATION:
-The router is located in the computer room. The computer room is located on the first floor, in the north/western most part of the house.
-My computer is located in my room. My room is located on the second floor, in the south/eastern most part of the house.
-There is no hope for hooking my computer up to the internet through a direct connection to the router.
-Im using a Netgear 54 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter(32-bit PCI WG311 v2)
-The router is a linksys something-G. With High Gain antennas(normal antennas were about 3 inches long, I replaced them with something about 6 inches long)
I don't know if any of that will help, but I would love anyone who tried to help.
