How to restrict connections by speed?


Recommended Posts

I want to drop all slow connections with my router. Is this possible? Some of the games I play are P2P and the latency can get ridiculous when another player is across the planet trying to play against me. Can I just have my router auto-drop that connection when the latency is above a specified level?

You wouldn't want to configure this on a router level as I can only see it causing serious problems down the road. To my knowledge, you can't configure anything like this on a consumer level router, at least, and for good reason.

In the case of online gaming the latency is important and high latency is undesirable, but the same isn't true for general web browsing and file downloads (well low latency is preferred but it isn't as deadly as in a game). As a result, if the router cut connections at a certain threshold you could have problems with sporadically dropped connections when you aren't gaming.
