How do I disconnect other people on the same router as me

Question

I am pissed off with the times my mum and my stpud brother go on the internet.

It laggs me so bad

..

How do I disconnect them by using my computer?

Answer 1

While you could disconnect them, that sounds like a generally bad idea in that it would make them very frustrated. What you could do is set up QOS (Quality of Service) which you can set to give priority to services and applications (Such as gaming) which you are doing. Then, your router would send your data quicker and all of you can be online at once. Another option you have with QOS is setting the other computers to a lower priority, but that sounds like a bad idea again.

Answer 2

if you have access to the router, block their MAC addresses!

Answer 3

what kind of a router are you using? check if it has MAC address filtering and use that feature to disconnect the PCs at your preferred times. Linksys WRT54G router has these features.

Answer 4

change the password and don't tell them what it is

Answer 5

Go to your router config page, usally 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.1.0 depending on your router and set up MAC Filtering, please look in your instruction manual for more. Or redirect the traffic to 1234567890.co.uk using the Firewall. Or if using WiFi, change the network password to something else. But make sure you setup a router password and keep it safe or you'll be locked out if you need to change something.

Answer 6

You'll have to be admin.

Answer 7

Patience is a virtue that you appear not to have, so is tolerance so just calm down and accept that other people have a right to use what appears to be a family utility
