Why can't there be a simple utility that shows me which device connected to my Airport is using how much of the bandwidth in a simple graphical or stats format without requiring me to be a level 10 Black Belt or Chuck Norris' paternal tooth fairy?

Each user gets the same share of bandwidth. Two users each get half. Three users get a third. You don't need a program for this.

I need to see who is consuming the most bandwidth and limit that user/device.

Then, you will need a router that is capable of doing this. The AirPorts aren't.

They are not overloading the Airport. They are overwhelming the capacity of your Internet connection.

No. It's not "shared equally". That's not how packet switched networks function.

Most consumer grade routers do not have the ability to restrict bandwidth use on a per machine basis. You need relatively expensive (but readily available) equipment to do that.

How many people are on the network? It can't be that hard to hunt them down.

that is such a basic feature!

Then, you might want to ask Apple why such a basic and important feature has never been offered on an Apple router.

Or any other consumer grade router as far as I can see.

I think perhaps you need to educate yourself a bit on how networks actually 'work'.

Your expectations of what it should be able to do... this "basic feature" are totally unrealistic. This is consumer grade equipment. Bandwidth limiting is a feature typically reserved for equipment intended to be installed in larger, commercial networks.

That is perhaps the most ridiculous thing I've heard today. Your problem has absolutely NOTHING to do with Apple. Moving to Windows will solve absolutely nothing.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Please let us know how that works out.

Denied? No one is 'denying you a feature'... The feature DOES NOT EXIST in the product you are trying to use to accomplish what you want. Indeed, it DOES NOT EXIST in any product in that class.

What part of that are you having trouble understanding? It is NOT a feature that is typically found in any consumer grade networking equipment, from Apple or ANY OTHER vendor.
