Is there a way to cap bandwidth during certain times? For example, if I wanted to limit WAN traffic to 5Mbps from 5PM-1AM.

There's probably better ways but these cron jobs will do it. Configure whatever QoS settings you want to be active using the GUI.

1 17 * * * root /usr/sbin/svqos `nvram get wshaper_uplink` `nvram get wshaper_downlink` `nvram get wan_iface` `nvram get wan_mtu` 0
*/6 1-17 * * * root /usr/sbin/svqos stop

Can you please elaborate in newbie terms?

I got one person hogging 95% of bandwidth and it's killing our 64kbps music stream all the time. Pissing me off. When I unplug that LAN connection from the switch WAN use goes from 1.8mbps to 180kbps!

Cr*p... was hoping to not have to redo the firmware. I've got a ton of security settings in place, among other settings. So if I replace the firmware I gotta write down a lotta stuff. Doh.

How new (build #)are those special builds anyway?

Apparently the tomato firmware now has bandwidth logs and apparently straight forward Qos and/or free bandwidth restriction/cap add-on. I'm going to try it out on my spare router.

So what's with all the talk that dd-wrt should be open source when its not anymore due to the commercial venture of the dd-wrt shop selling the "special" version?

Should wrt-dd be sold or able to be sold when 98% was done from open source? Can't sell something that doesn't belong to you right? Don't flame me... just curious. If an add-on was sold that'd be different.

Tomato with bandwidth by IP/Mac control: http://victek.is-a-geek.com/tomato.html look for http://cdn.adslzone.net/pub/repos/victek/Tomato/Tomato_RAF_1.25.8515.2-ND.7z for WRT54GL v1.1
You'll need http://www.7-zip.org/ to unzip the file. So far looks real good.
