Re: Any way to set a "Hard" Cap with router?
All you do with this Router is plug it in and operate it in like a normal router right? Even though it says VPN router... right?
Also, is their any wireless routers that have this feature. I can't find it. |

What is the real requirement? Perhaps to stop others from hogging bandwidth so its available to others. Perhaps you want to limit throughput maximums while using the net as opposed to the cap idea.
I would be sorely pissed if I did not have access to my email because some numbskull is using a netgear router!

Perhaps you want to limit throughput maximums while using the net as opposed to the cap idea. I would be sorely pissed if I did not have access to my email because some numbskull is using a netgear router! I would think that he would be pissed but heck, the culprit is downloading via P2P or Rapidshare or something every single hour of the day. Internet is intolerable! He downloads before he goes to work. He downloads after he comes home from work. We tell him to download at nighttime ie. 10-8 and he says yes for like 2 days and he goes back to his old routine.
Now, I exceed Shaw's bandwidth. In fact, I double it and Shaw's pissed so they tell me to stop exceeding or they'll cut me off. And I'm pissed because my internet is slow like crap and disconnects like every single hour and we're sharing the internet bill.
This is why I want the cap router. I can just set the culprit to 10GB while everyone else get's unlimited. And if I catch them using over 10GB, i'll just limit them. Since 10GB is a lot. If he doesn't like it, fine, he can go get his own line. He needs to buy the modem and everything because they're all mine. And this gives me a reason to switch to Teksavvy.
[edit] What do you suggest? |

Yes, you can use it like a "normal" router. If you don't need it, you are not forced to use the VPN feature. |
