Hello,
I use leap 42.1 and have an ADSL connection with the standard router delivered by the phone company (telefonica, Spain).
When I have guests they connect their phones (I give them the password) to my wifi with the dhcp of the router. And then my internet gets very slow, as most people use a lot of apps that keep them connected all the time, I guess.
This is strange. Phone apps do not use a lot of internet bandwidth, with the exception of Youtube or voice over internet (hangouts, whatsap calls...). And if your guests are using those, limiting their bandwidth would severely affect them. You would then have to negotiate with them what apps they use and when -- ie, use youtube by turns ;-)
What happens then is that your ADSL pipe is too small. Not the 30 Megs that Telefonica supplies nowdays.
I am in Barcelona, not part of the modern world... my telefonica is spanish 10 Mbps download and spanish 0.8 Mbps upload, translated into realworld: 4.5 Mbps down and 0.3 up... According to telefonica this is the fasted I can have. There's no fiber available... Unfortunately I was not able to find another provider. All offers are "free" (prices come on page 7, link 5, and to find the real prices - after the special prices month - one needs a master in investigation, also because the offers are not comparable. There's no "pure" internet, it's always some combination with mostly unwanted additional services).
Is it possible that somehow I give preference to my own laptop and phone, or kind of restrict the bandwidth for the other ones? So that my bandwidth doesn't get so much affected, but instead theirs?
The router may have some QoS options. Knowing your exact router you could have a look at the Spanish sites that have information on them (http://www.adslzone.net/ and ... I forget the name. I can't look bookmarks, this is a test install).
I just looked into my router. There's nothing similar :-( -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
