Best network setup for sharing with neighbour...

Ok, so my neighbour pays me £10/mth to share my internet connection as Virgin won't install in his property. Not ideal but he's a nice guy. At the minute my setup looks like:



But in addition to my ongoing problems with Virgin's 50mb service, I suspect my neighbour to be hogging a lot of bandwidth. I've tried using QOS etc to limit the effect he has on me but to no avail.

So, would something like this work better?:



Where I could use the DIR-615 as an AP and have the neighbour's PC(s) on a different subnet to our own?

Also, I have an unused brand new Gigabit switch sitting here, could that be used to any advantage in this network?

Cheers!
