Some have the facility to throttle a particular MAC address using the QoS function.
Sorry I can't be anymore help, but google Qos and you might find more info.
Here is a thread about it http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,107684.0.html/

If you wish to have a play with QOS you'll find a how to here:
http://npr.me.uk/ipqos.html
Alternatively the bandwidth for each of the routers 4 ethernet port can be configured via telnet.
Unfortunately you can't throttle wireless devices only ethernet connected devices.
Let me know if need the commands to throttle ethernet ports, it may take a couple of days to dig them out.

As an example, the TP-Link TL-WR1043nd I have has bandwidth control in both directions* based on IP address and is easily configured to provide static addresses (ie a fixed IP address for a given MAC address). All other address ranges can be set to a very low limit, becoming unusable

* Yes, I have tested it - 1Mbps down on fibre is quite interesting!
Using a TP-Link TD-W9980 modem-router.

Quote from: morganjones I have an issue where the sky box and phones are taking up the majority of the internet bandwidth and I want to limit this somehow.
Phones taking up bandwidth? I'm wondering if the actual problem is that the sky box and/or phones are not installed correctly via filters and have knocked the sync speed for six?
