Hello,

I have a friend who has a router. He has his gaming rig and his son's and daughter's computer hooked up to it (3 computers in all). He has cable and his Router is a DI-604.

When his daughter uses Instant Messenging software (MSN) it kills his game ping.

Is there a way, either on her system or in the router, to control the bandwidth allocated to her? Is there any software that can do this?

Not sure exactly what I am looking for, so any help is appreciated!

Instant messenger should be doing little or no damage to pings unless they are doin file transfers or something. If I had to blame something for the slow down I would blame either random spiking from cable or a crappy router that can't handle that many connections at once. I'd start buy getting a better router. Some people like D-Link, I think it is garbage. If I had to buy a home router I would get a linksys.

I love my D-Link 604, works great, easy to setup and is fast.
Best costs less than $40
