Limiting bandwith on routers

[jigger78]

Hello, my name is nick and i am a gm of a hotel which has 6 buildings each building has 2 WRT54G Linksys wireless routers one master and one slave router. my question is, is there a way to limit the available bandwidth to each router so one customer can not hog all the bandwidth? i have 50megs coming in threw the isp and would like to allocate about 2megs to each router and reserve the rest of the bandwidth for my hybrid dvr which has analog and ip cams on it

any help whould be appreciated
thanks

Not really.

You to a point can do this with QoS but it is more to favor someone than to limit them.

You could buy a used commercial cisco router (even fairly old ones) and put it between your ISP and your current routers. It has the ability to limit traffic by IP and groups but it can not do something like maximum bytes only the rate traffic flows.

The way this is normally done is with a very expensive appliance device. You can build one yourself with a PC with 2 nic cards run linux. Mostly these are the router and IDP features that allow this function.
