[ale] Buy your wifi routers now...

[Chris Fowler]

I really need increased visibility and control. As a 20 year Linux veteran I can do much. 

I've been thinking about microtik. 

ADSL2+ bridge to a Microtik router. This removes my wireless. I then install a Ubiquity ceiling AP to provide wireless to the home. 

On the router I want QoS. I want to visibility into the data stream out to the bridge. I want to be able to control specific sites certain computers can go to by time. For example, I want to shutdown youtube.com during homework time. 

The later I am sure I can do wit a cron job manipulating dnsmasq configuration. I can set *.youtube.com to 127.0.0.1 then replace the config after home work time. 

I have a few of the PCI router boards, but I do want a full PC to do this task.
