Is it possible to have the main computer that's directly connected to the internet modem to customize how much a wireless router can access a certain amount of kbs/sec?
Example: My main computer to dl speed at 100 kb/sec and I want wireless internet to only be able to have up to 20 kb/sec.
Is it possible to do that kind of customization?

Update: coolyaz2000, you could be wrong. I heard it's something about closing a port but I'm not too sure about that.

You could do this if your main computer had a server OS and you were running network admin tools to limit the amount of internet broadband a port would recieve. But this is not something a novice would be able to do.

Your network setup is confusing.
Your main computer connects directly to internet and further (trough a W router) to a network.
Well, the logical way is :
internet modem - router - network computers
In this case you can manage the network trough the router's admin.
Maybe the main computer acts as router also (internet server). In this case, use a software that can manage allocated internet band per internal IP.

i think that there is a program called netlimiter but the setup wouldn't be easy. your pc would need to be configured as a router/proxy

I am not aware of any way to do this; it does not seem like a feature that many people would find useful.

I don't think so. You would have to hack. And that's illegal.
