How to set up banwidth in ADSL router?

[arch_koven]

Hi all!

I have a question. There are 4 computers connect to internet via BCM96338 ADSL Router. And I want one computer having higher priority and bandwith than others.
Login over telnet:
$ telnet 192.168.1.254
I saw the brctl command with an argument "setportprio <bridge> <port> <prio> set port priority". And I tried:

$ brctl setportprio br0 eth0.3 0
$ brctl setportprio br0 eth0.2 255
$ brctl setportprio br0 eth0.4 255
$ brctl setportprio br0 eth0.5 255
$ brctl stp br0 1
$ brctl showstp br0

But the computer connect through eth0.3 still surf the web slowly when others download with hight banwidth. Can you explain "brctl setportprio" command?
And are there any solutions for my problem?

hi arch_koven,
it can be a particular pc/interface/other problem try changing the connection position for this machine with some other machine (as per your thery) and see the result ..i myself never tried this.but what i think as of now theses port has been allocated dynamically..first come first serve basis i think so ....so what is the use of it ?..you can not bind any machine or IP to perticular port..can you ?

One more question you should be knowing about the accounts in BCM96338 ADSL Router...they are as admin , user and support..do you know the password for user and support account ?.

Thanks

There are 4 ports in router, and theses port has not been allocated dynamically. You can see it on the command:

> brctl showmacs br0
port no mac addr is local? ageing t
6 00:1a:92:46:60:ff no 0.13
1 00:73:07:0d:95:71 yes 0.00
2 00:73:07:0d:95:72 yes 0.00
3 00:73:07:0d:95:73 yes 0.00
> arp show

IP address HW type Flags HW address Mask Device
192.168.1.20 0x1 0x2 00:1A:92:46:60:FF * br0

and the system in router is Linux, I think we can set up bandwidth by software (but i don't know). If the router didn't not provide, I think we can modify network pakages in the Linux kernel and rebuild firmware. It's too complicated and I just only download the source for 96358 router, not for 96338.
I only know the default passworld for admin user is "admin". (if you forgot, you can hard reset the router).
