Set wireless priority
We have low speed (256kbps) broadband on a wireless Linksys WRT54g router. One of the machines wirelessly connected is a family member frequently using online radio (with accompanying videos....), which seems to use a lot of our bandwidth.
Is there a setting I can do on the router configuration to make one computer have a higher priority than another? And... is my assumption right that the online radio/video uses large bandwidth?

Internet radio typically runs 24 to 128 kbs, many stations offer low and high rate connections. Any video delivered along with the radio (like the annoying commercials I see on some broadcasts in Windows Media Player) will cause a larger throughput for a short time.
The only way to control this bandwidth hogging is to enforce discipline on the user - I find a 2x4 works well.
iTunes radio does not do videos! But, I find it does not have the variety and depth of stations that WMP carries.
