Is there a way to limit Internet bandwidth on Wi-Fi on a per-user basis?

I am on Windows 7 and I have a D-Link Wi-Fi router. I become very helpless when my cousins come over for weekend and suck up all the Internet bandwidth by streaming Netflix and YouTube. I just to limit Wi-Fi bandwidth for the guests. Is there a way to do this?

You should be able to install dd-wrt on that router, from there you should be able to easily limit bandwidth through setting priority to users or limiting specific services.

Login to your router with the default IP 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 using the credentials

1. user: admin
2. password: admin

next navigate to parental control and block the websites that use your data up.

There should be an option to blacklist traffic by MAC Addresses. I you know their MAC address you can limit traffic to their devices.
