Have you looked into configuring QoS in the router? That may help with the issue.

QoS?,don't know what it means sorry :(

**johnwill** · 10-03-2007, 12:13 PM

QoS - Quality Of Service

vtech · 10-03-2007, 08:52 PM

lol,i don't really know how to look into the QoS.
explain thanks :)

Look in the router's web based setup. I don't know what, if any, provision there is. It's possible you'll need a better router to solve the issue. What are they doing to cause issues, and how fast is your ISP connection?

Well sometimes they go on myspace etc an other programs that are up like aim,msn,yahoo, messengers.[speed:100.0 Mbps if thats what you mean?]

can i make it like,not to be intercepting with my computer somehow?

Actually, your ISP connection is a LOT slower than 100mbit, that's just the speed of your local network.
