hey everyone.
My household currently has Verizon FiOS at 50mbps down and 50mbps up. We're using a Belkin N300 router connected to the verizon modem.
I noticed sometimes that its hard for me to load up webpages or watch videos. There's no particular time of day this happens and I suspect its due to other users at home eating up the bandwidth. Is there a way to allocate a certain number of mbps to each user? My ideal set up would be to have separate networks for each user, allocating around 10mbps each so all of us can use the internet with no lag.
is this even possible? I was thinking of buying a couple of old wireless B routers and connecting them on the modem somehow and having different networks? Would purchasing a linksys router and flashing it with DDWRT work?
total noob at this so please let me know if you have any suggestions or solutions.
thanks so much
