Limit the speed of the internet?

My brother is always watching TV shows, HD youtube videos, etc. and It really lags me up when I'm on my laptop or my xbox 360. Is there a way I can limit the speed of the internet? Through the port on our modem? We don't use a router, and our Modem is a Motorola 3347.

I think that would require a router from what I know, not to say that it is impossible. Apparently, you can do this using Talisman on a linksys WRT54GL.

Or WRT54GL :D

Your broadband modem will have an integrated router in it. Usually the address is 10.1.1.1, 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.1... try one of those in your browser and you should get to the router's/modem's configuration page. In there, you might be able to find settings for "quality of service" (or just QOS for short) (not many modems have this, IDK if yours does, but it's worth a shot), which basically allows you to set download/upload limits based on different criteria like source/destination ip/port and even stateful packet inspection (=magic that determines the type of traffic, goes by other names too).

If none of the above addresses work, go to the command prompt and type "ipconfig" and find your default gateway address. That's the one you should be using to get to the setup.

My modem doesn't have a router I don't think. I just use my wireless router. Does the modem automatically turn off?

Most models will have no integrated router, unless it is a wireless cable/dsl model, otherwise it just acts as a gateway and you require a wired/wireless router of some sort. What the OP is looking for is basically QoS, which pretty much no consumer grade routers will offer. The WRT54GL running DD-WRT can do some QoS stuff,as it adds some higher level functions, but QoS is quite a pain to setup, and in the end...its still consumer grade networking equipment.
 
Put your Ethernet cable in the 1st port and his in the 2nd you may get the dominent connection speed. It works on mine ;)
