Hi there, I have a ZXDSL 531B router from ZTE. I'm a network newbie here. Now here's the setup for the DSL router with 4 LAN ports, which all are connected to different PCs. And this happens to be the ONLY source of internet to all of us. Here's my needs, I want to control EACH LAN port speed, as it can be shared equally & not one stealing most / all bandwidth & rest left begging :banghead: . Every computer uses Windows 7. Please help!

You cant. It doesn't support bandwidth shaping. You would need a more expensive router or a router that supports DD-WRT firmware

Click to expand...

Thank you "Jetster" for your reply :) . One more thing, How can I recognize this DD-WRT based device?

Thanx "eidairaman1" for the tip on WRT device. Like to ask you a question here, Is every Cisco Linksys router supports WRT OR just selected / more expensive ones?

my only conclusion is they are easily hackable, but bear in mind they are expanding the list of supported routers... Yours does look like a Trendnet Router...
