Hey guys,
I'm looking for a software that can help me in managing my router, so that only my employees in the company can use it and no one else.
My Problem: We have a small office where i run my advertising\real estate business. Majority of the work involves communication via internet and i want to limit my connection to my workplace only.
Thing is despite setting a Wi-Fi password, it's easily shared amongst other individuals who use their smartphones to download all sorts of garbage thereby consuming all the bandwidth which slows down the actual work my employees are doing. Changing the password doesn't help since eventually it's shared anyways.
I'm looking for 3 things:
1) A software that tells me how many devices are connected. Fixed computers connected via LAN cable run without any password but wireless devices require one. So if anyone connects it, i need to know which device it is and whether i can remove him\deny him instantly.
2) A software that helps me configure the bandwidth per computer\device.
3) And finally a software that blocks stupid websites like youtube\facebook and similar junk.
I'm quite fed up with this and it's really hurting my work environment where i end up being frustrated when i can't even download a 20MB PPT presentation sent by a business contact.
My current setup is:
1) Router
2) Network Switch for connecting PC with LAN+Router's internet (ISP)
Would installing a server OS on a particular system help or are there any quick options to deal with it? Any help regarding the matter would be appreciated.
