What kind of environment are you in? Is this at home where mum and dad pay the bill and you'd like to prioritise yourself above everyone else?

 

Judging by the hardware, I think so. Probably doesn't have those features. Spend money on a better plan from your ISP or better hardware...

You could probably install something on their PC do to that for you, or else you should just get a better router.

If I've said something wrong, please correct me
