First time poster here, searched a bit but didn't see any answer that wasn't based around using QoS.
Basically I have a slingbox that eats up my upstream (5mbit up, 50mbit down) as well as a plex media server that does from time to time when my fiance is out of town.
I would like to limit the maximum upstream from either and IP or mac address standpoint to an EXACT number, like 2 mbits. But is this possible to do to limit external only? Local area network traffic shouldn't be limited.
Just curious if this is possible at all with a consumer grade router. I would even be fine with building a machine to serve as my router leveraging an open-source solution, if this is required.
Worst case scenario, if I need to go with DD-WRT, any suggestions on which routers to buy? I see a lot about v24 and v26, so confused on what I should purchase. The max I'd like to spend on an actual router is ~$200.
Thanks in advance!
