Hub 3 can I cap device bandwidth?

[ugadd]

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.
