Netlimiter

Get yourself a RB750.
Use that to do everything you ever wished :)

Would love to get a mikrotik but the costs are a bit out of budget at the moment. long story short I landed up in a bit of an accident last year and have to pay out just over 18k damages, so until that is sorted out I don't think ill be buying PC hardware:(
 
Can you not load some open-source firmware on to that router that has QoS functions? Check compatibility with some of the freebie firmware - I'm not geek enough to know which ones though...

thanks will check it out, I never really thought to change the firmware but I do see a few places have made custom firmware for this model.
 
You are sounding more and more like a geek with each day passing. :D

OP, like DJ said, perhaps have a look at this: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/dg834.v3

thanks seems exactly what I need,

"Active queue management (AQM) through the Network scheduler of the Linux kernel, with many available queuing disciplines. CoDel has been backported to Kernel 3.3.[8] This encapsulates Traffic shaping to ensure fair distribution of bandwidth among multiple users and Quality of Service for simultaneous use of applications such as VoIP, online gaming, and streaming media without experiencing the negative impacts of link saturation."

Will give it a go tonight and hope I dont brick the router :D
