How to share the Internet in the office?

Question

Computer networks

The situation is as follows:
a cable with the Internet comes to one room, it is connected to a wi-fi router, which distributes the network to nearby rooms. In one of these nearby rooms, you need to increase the speed of the Internet.
Is it possible to reserve part of the channel (speed) for this room? Or can channel consumption in that room be prioritized over others? It is possible to run a cable there. There is access to the main router.

Answer 1

Can. Here is the first thing that comes to mind
Method one: We take a normal router like a cheap Mikrotik, we make two wi-fi networks (SSID), we connect the desired room to one, the rest to the other, on both we cut the speed with a shaper
Method two: We take the same normal router, create a separate dhcp pool for the desired room (you can bind to macs, or you can simply manually configure ip-shniks on client machines from another network), cut speeds by subnets
Method three: set up routing on a linux server, cut speed by it (for example, a proxy), and use the router as a bridge.
Method four (with a separate cable): just on the router we cut the speed to wi-fi, everything else will go to the port into which the cable is plugged

Answer 2

Depending on the router, there are usually bandwidth control functions, if your router does not have such functionality, purchase a router with such functionality, or look towards software solutions based on Squid, NeTAMS, NiTraf, Nappix, etc.
Google about free traffic shaping.

Answer 3

It's either qos based on ports, or a shaper, which routers? Mikrotiks, for example, can do both.

Answer 4

I will add from myself
At me it is implemented on FreeBSD+PF. I set up QOS, I distribute traffic according to priorities. Whoever has a higher priority will get more Internet. If there is no one, the entire channel is given to the one who remains.
And yet, here they advise proxies ... well, there is squid and the like ... All this is nonsense. You will only regulate web traffic with proxies. Everything else will go in the general heap

Answer 5

About Mikrotik to the point. We take something like Rb751 / 951, do dhcp, bind by mac + ip, if we cut Simple-quotes in a simple way, if it’s more difficult but better then PCQ + qos tree, voila, we have a network cut to fit the needs of the office, and it doesn’t matter what it is connected to wifi / lan, especially the 751th has a powerful antenna. if they get smart, you can also use L7 filtering to make torrents / social networks / etc. block, cut, etc
