    hey guys,
    noy sure if i am posting in the right place,but here goes!
    i am having a problem, basically i have upc broadband at home and i also have a granny flat at the back of my garden, i want to share my broadband, if i put the routerat the back of the house i can get the wireless signal which is fine, here is my question, is there a way to share this connection and assign it a certain speed, maybe a guest network! would this work?

    depending on the capability of your equipment. Many routers especially dual band routers have this function

    thanks for the reply, so if i dont have a dual band router the best i can do is set up a guest network, but they will have full speed?

    Traffic shaping is not a standard feature with most consumer routers. But you don't need enterprise-grade equipment, just make sure the router you buy is compatible with 3rd party firmware like DD-WRT or TomatoUSB. Flash the router with the new firmware and configure QoS (Quality of Service) to your likings. Guides/tutorial are plenty.
