Hi,
My partner downloads and uploads large files for work.
This causes every other device connected to our internet to stop working entirely (download//upload speeds close to 0)
Is there any way we can cap the download&upload speed for devices so that the bandwidth isn't taken over by a single one?
Are there any alternative methods to solve the problem?
We have virgin media hub3 as our router.
Thanks!
Not with the hub
A better router with QoS/BWM can do that then just use the hub in modem mode
Take a look at Free Download Manager, it is possible to set transfer limits of say 75Mb/s so plenty of bandwidth if left for others.
Another option if using a network cable, set the laptop / PCs network adaptor to Speed & Duplex 100 Full Duplex ( this is done in the device manager ) . Using a 10/100 switch would have the same effect and would not require making any adjustment to a business supplied laptop that could have the device manger locked down.
