Is there any way to restrict or cap the internet speed for a computer or Mac address?
If your router supports QoS, then yes.
How do I know if it supports it, and what is it?
Go to 192.168.1.1 and look through the tabs for QoS.
QoS works giving computers a higher priority than another. Meaning they'll get faster speeds.
You can also apply it to certain applications.

Depending on the router model, you may have to connect to 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1 (2 is rarer, I've only seen it in older SMC routers)

192.168.0.1 is for older routers (2005 - 2006 and older)

Uh, the D-Link WGL-4500 we got in late 2008 is 192.168.0.1 by default.
You guys realize it depends purley on the brand and model not the year, to find your default gateway (the ip address of your router) goto start>run type cmd then in the command prompt type ipconfig it will display the ip of your PC and your default gateway. you put your default gateway into your browsers address bar to change your router settings. You will need the password of your router which also depends on the make/model and if anyone has changed it from the default.
Even after doing all of that you will have a lot of options to choose from going through it all looking for QoS would take a long time, just look in the manual. Most QoS apps in modems allow no direct control over the speed, it simply prioitizes streaming traffic over other traffic so youtube etc buffers faster. From what i understand anyway.

I know that, I was just trying to fuck his point up.
I think Linksys and Netgear routers are 192.168.1.1, but I'm not 100% sure.
