Bandwidth Sharing

[Lamer]

Greetings, is there a router that can share bandwidth automatically?

We have a small business with about 10-20 connections using an ADSL2+ connection.

When someone uses dropbox, everyone elses internet slows to a crawl!

QoS feature should be able to help you prioritize the network traffic.

Perhaps, you can set computers that uses dropbox to be on low priority.

Check this link on how QoS can be configured on our routers.

If this isn't suitable, perhaps you may need something like, Load Balancing feature, which is available in our Business Routers.

There are various Nighthawk Series routers, that support QoS, which may resolve your issue.

From what I can tell, these routers are only good for streaming / gaming. I don't think they'll help much if a few people are using dropbox while other devices are browsing the web?
