Hello

I have a home network with 2 PCs with a wired connection via a Netgear DG834
router/modem
and a laptop connected via a Netgear wireless access point.

What I require is a means whereby I can monitor and allocate my broadband
bandwidth individually to each PC as necessary.
The laptop in particular needs to transfer large files on occasion to my
work-based server and I need to do this as efficiently as
possible. I guess what I need is a means to prioritise bandwidth on the
laptop on an ad hoc basis.

Can anyone help with this - for instance can this be done through Windows
(XP Pro) or do I need some third party software ?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Conrad

If you need to transfer large files it would probably be better to
connect the laptop by wire rather than wifi as a wired connection is
much more efficient.

Also, on a home network if you want the laptop to have priority for
bandwidth I would think the best way would be to stop using the desktop
PC swhilst transfer in progress.

I don't think it's worth it personally, but these items showed up in Google:

With only 2 computers, you should have more than enough bandwidth that
you shouldn't need bandwidth controlling tools. Remember that there's
actually more bandwidth behind your LAN than there is going to the
Internet, usually 20 to 100 times more bandwidth! A router simply gives
equal round-robin priority to each computer in the LAN. If one computer
is busier than the other, then it will gain more of the bandwidth
automatically. If they're equally busy, then the Internet will be shared
equally 50:50.
