Is the settings on that router through software or is it on the router itself?.
I would really like to be able to alter it throughout the day automatically, like when i'm away during the mornings/afternoon, it'll have higher speeds for me, but later on it'll automatically switch to equal speeds for the others.
I need the ability to control the connection time somewhat with my lil bro and sister as they spent too much time on the net, has a "time limit" feature present in routers? or the choice of cutting off a connection during a time of day?.

Settings are within the routers software - it's accessed like a web page. Very simple to use.
There are further settings which allow you to set access restrictions per PC based on time of day, day of week, hours of use, etc so you should find settings that work for your situation. I have a linux PC which I use solely for P2P; the router allows that to work freely until my or my g/f's Xp PC's come online, then the Xp machines take priority for e-mail, surfing, games, etc.
No problems in over 12months use.
