I am a gamer so I need all the bandwidth I can get. However sometimes that's not what I get and I believe the problem lies within the wireless users that are sharing my connection. During some long prtions of the day my connection slows down to a crawl leaving me offline for a few hours. My current way of solving this is to block wireless users MAC adresses rampantly until the problem stops. I'm not even sure if there's a correlation between the problem and my solution. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a bandwidth meter of some sort so I can pinpoint where this is comming from. Thanks

Say what? Who are you allowing to share your connection?

read up on wireless security. if your wireless is that open...

PS. gamers don't use wireless due to poor bandwidth when compared to wired.

No u don't understand i think. My mom owns property and she's offering Wireless internet as an extra, I can't negotiate with her. I'm not on wireless myself but I go through a Wireless router with WEP encryption and I check to see who is on the network constantly, so no intruders can get in. But just knowing that trusted ppl are on your network isn't enough, I need to know how much bandwidth they are taking, since ones in College and I think she is taling most of it. But I can't be sure. So any software or tricks maybe would help a lot.
Thanks.
