how to throttle bandwidth with non-dd-wrt router?

[filmguy]

i have a mtnl modem (ut starcom wa-3002 g1) connected to a belkin router (f7d2301). both are not dd-wrt compatible. i also have a linksys modem which has been flashed with dd-wrt which i am using as a repeater to extend wifi range.

i have a wdtv which i use as a 24x7 torrent box. this is connected (wired) to the belkin router & cant be moved to the linksys (which i suppose would've solved the issue).

is it possible to throttle bandwidth to the wdtv whenever any other device requires it i.e. keep the wdtv as lowest priority. so for example if i am on my pc or tab & watching youtube the bandwidth available to the wdtv is throttled and when i'm done the wdtv gets the entire bandwidth.

i know this is possible with dd-wrt but since my primary modem-router are not dd-wrt compatible i was wondering if this is still possible. the modem does have a QoS settings page but i havent been able to find any guide that can help me set the rules. any guide or link to a guide will be appreciated. have copy pasted the QoS settings page of the modem below. thanks

If the modem is in bridge mode then its not doing any NAT, its just a dumb adsl to public IP interface. The modem will not know the difference between individual clients that are behind the NAT as they will all have the same ip addr. IP Qos won't work in this instance on the modem, whether App Qos works you will have to test and see.

I think you can only use the modem's IP Qos when its in normal mode ie not bridge mode. So in this case IP QoS is only possible on the device that does the NAT ie the belkin. Does the belkin support IP QoS ?

Otherwise enabling NAT on the modem will produce a double NAT situation and will be complicated to work with.

is it possible to throttle bandwidth to the wdtv whenever any other device requires it i.e. keep the wdtv as lowest priority. so for example if i am on my pc or tab & watching youtube the bandwidth available to the wdtv is throttled and when i'm done the wdtv gets the entire bandwidth.

The idea is you set the wdtv to lowest priority by its IP addr and set the others (pc or tab) to highest. Then in the app section you define torrent app and set it to lowest priority and then define youtube and set that to the highest.

This is what i do with my netgear wndr3800 using stock and the result is mixed and not that great tbh. It does not throttle as in completely slow down the torrent. The bandwidth gets shared about 50%. I'm not sure how aggressive it is with dd-wrt.

modem is in PPPoA/PPPoE mode. belkin router doesnt support QoS unfortunately.

in the modem IP Qos settings i havent understood how to prioritise particular IP's. it just has a selection for "Type" (IP ToS (0 ~ 7) or DiffServ (0 ~ 63)) & Priority Bits Value settings which are "mapped into Queue #1" till "Queue #4"

anyone with inputs?

Use the linksys router to throttle bandwidth, and use belkin to extend range. Enabling qos in modem won't work, since its acting as modem only. The router immediately behind it should support qos for throttling to be effective.

+1, hopefully the belkin supports this. else buy a new router!

the belkin can do neither - it doesnt have Qos nor can i use it to extend range . it's a very basic n model which i bought without much research
