Block ports on netopia 2247NWG?

Steviemoyne

Hi, I'm currently sharing a connection with other housemates who wish to hog up all of our 5mb line for themselves with heavy internet usage: Such as downloading large files (legally). 

I wish to block the site they download from. I have the port number that the site uses to work however I cannot get my head around how to actually block said port number.

The main reason I wish to do this is because a speedtest prior to removal of said ports was 0.25meg. After it shot up to 4.5meg on a 5meg line.

Really ridiculous the disregard people have when using an internet connection to others also using it;

Hi Steviemoyne

I'm afraid we cannot assist you here with this query however if you call our broadband technical support them on 1890 260 260 they may be able to shed some light on this for you.

Does your tech support possibly have a freephone number? Or a 1850 number?
