OK.......... before anyone cuss me out I want to say I am sorry if this is the wrong are to post this question.

I need help with a monowall configuration for a house that currently has four (4) wireless access points (Basement, 1st Floor, 2nd Floor, 3rd Floor).  So in my mind I was thinking to place the monowall in the network right after the modem bringing the internet into the house.  However, I think that this will only share the bandwidth load between the four WAPs........... by this I mean the Monowall will only see for clients on the network.  How can i set this monowall up so that it still shares bandwidth with each actual computer on the network................. or will I need to buy more than one Monowall?

Unless you have configured your WAPs to use a NAT for it's clients a WAP behaves the same as a switch or hub.
This is very easy to check: Do you have access to network shares from one PC behind a WAP to a PC behind a different WAP? If yes m0n0wall will handle clients behind your WAPs individually.

Yes You can configure it in the traffic shaper menu in pipes setting set proper bandwidth cap, mask and add a rule with that pipe in the proper direction.

I've done it quite some time ago, unfortunately i forgot how it precisely was, if i find the config i'll post.
