Very easy... First thing first... Buy a router that you can flash with DDWRT...
Then follow these instructions on Youtube. I made a guest network and it works great! My guest just get the bulk of data that I don't use. If I am streaming video ... The guest network may become at times too slow to use. But, that's the whole point! In no way would my guest be hogging up my service. DD-WRT, doesn't use Shape Packing (that's old school) and has caused all kinds of problems if not set up right. Shape the packets is pretty much run off of a service. Like Bittorrent or a open port for say VOIP. Writing a script in your router could be done for guest IP, but it's pretty sad way to go. Besides, you don't want your guest on your network to begin with so! This solves that security risk as well! DDWRT uses QoS. Much better I think.
Just add a guest network under Virtual Interface...
Then you got to separate the guest network from the private network by adding a bridge...
After you get the bridge working, you can then go into QoS... Tab...
And assign the guest network to bulk, and private network (premium) the Priority.
That will solve your issue. Basically, the remaining bandwidth that you don't use get's shifted off to bulk. I think something is missing on this video tho, you have to enter in the maximum up and down speed of your network... So in my case I have 50 Down, and 5 Up. enter 80-90% of speed in the up/downlink.. That way I get priority of available bandwidth and the guest get the bulk of what's left 10-15% (if any)....

Have Fun!
