How to set a data limit for a website

[flibberdipper]

So my sister is pushing me to my breaking point with her hogging up bandwidth with several sites like YouTube, Monster High, and so on. I need to set a data limit on some of these sites that activates at 12PM Friday and ends at 3PM Sunday. I was thinking something like 100-150MB for YouTube, and maybe 75 for each of the game websites. Any idea of a way to do this?

 

And if I can password protect the settings of the program, that would be great.

I purchased a smart router for this exact reason, my sister was hogging the bandwidth

 

Now I can allocate most of the bandwidth to my computer and Ipad and dont have no lag

So, you wanna trade your sister hogging the bandwidth to you hogging the bandwidth, correct?

What makes you have any more right to that bandwidth than her? I don't see how that's fair. :huh:

That's what I did till I moved up. I had to stay up late to atleast play Dota or something.

I thought we were talking at least 15 or so, yeah young kids tend to go a bit crazy on the net. LOL

[Blebekblebek]

this will do

 

the good things about TP-Link, almost all line up have something like this

it was only available in their high end router, but now it's more common to see this feature even in their low end router.

No. Problem with my grandma's router is that it allocates bandwidth according to who got there first. So if she's watching YouTube, she may have to buffer a lot more than normal due to, say, my mom on Facebook. But once she has some downtime, then the router re-allocates most of the bandwidth back to my sister.

I don't even know if this pile of crap router has that ability...

You better hope she don't complain mate.

She complains and the weefee goes off. Which means I will be the only one capable of going on the web.

 

Or I'll just sneak up when she's using the bathroom and remove the network.
