Wireless slows down, when another person use it

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Using an enterprise-class router, such as one from Cisco, you could
prioritize traffic. But using an inexpensive residential gateway router, I
don't think you can do what you want. What kind of Internet connection have
you got, dialup? What is your host doing, streaming video, downloading
MP3s?
