Possible to Limit WLAN bandwidth?

[Warren Bryant]

I have a user that creates so much data traffic that other computers
access' to the WAN is very slow...dialup slow. All computers use XP
Home. How can I limit the bandwidth of this WLAN user?

I have a dlink di-624 router. I changed the TX rate from auto to 1M and
it did not help. Would lowering the power causing packet errors are
would it be what I want?

Put a 10BaseT hub in series with the one workstation.

But waitaminnit! Dialup slow??? Who / what is dialing up?

I'd like to find a solution w/o buying addition software; perhaps using
my router settings or some other networking s/w. I believe there is a
option on the wireless adapter's setup s/w to choose base10 or 100 or
auto. Do you think if I set that to base10 this would help?

I just turned the WLAN radio off and checked the bandwidth the computer
I'm on and it increased considerable. I don't know what data is being
transmitted, but I have to slow it down somehow!

I figured out what my problem was. Without going into the gory details,
I found some mysterious programs running on the client in question. The
virus s/w was well out of date too. IE was crashing and blinking
constantly as well as Task Manager. Data traffic was high at all times.
I uninstalled the wireless card s/w and the data traffic persisted.

After some other debugging, I decided (as a last resort) to do a system
restore. Things worked well after that. I did not re-install the
adapter's s/w; I let Windows configure it. Data traffic is now okay and
all clients are happy with DSL.
