Hi All
I am having Asus Wifi Router. Its connected to 2Mbps internet connection via another modem. The problem I am facing is whenever I put some downloads in my PC which I have connected using LAN Cable, The internet connectivity in my mobile or any wifi device such as Tablet or laptop is completely non-existent.

To be clear, My PC is occupying 100% of the available bandwidth. i want a smart wifi router that detects number of devices and splits the bandwidth according to th enumber of devices.

Is it possible. Please suggest

You are asking for QOS limiting. That requires a lot of CPU power to police. That is why as @nigelivey said, it is a function for higher powered firewalls. The hardware in home routers is limited. SOME routers have decent QOS capabilities. But they are not automatic. They require manual intervention for each device to set limits. You are asking for $10K features in a $100 device. Not going to happen.

You might find this isn't a service readily available on domestic routers, something like Pfsense or monowall can do this if you know what you are doing. Splitting a 2Mb connection down is almost pointless, half of nothing is still nothing. Have you considered a download manager on the pc you're using for your downloads??

You have asked and I have answered, my answer is the same. Please reread my answer, the clue was in the two router OS I mentioned.
