Hi,
If they are on a separate LAN segment, but you both share the same 
gateway out to the Internet, Traffic Shaping is the easiest way to go. 
It's not that you have to create any fancy rules, just create two pipes, 
one for upload, one for download and use a traffic shaping rule that 
anything coming from LAN2 will be assigned to those pipes. Since the 
entire LAN2 will be assigned the pipes, they will share whatever max you 
set.

That's really what the Traffic Shaping section is about, so there isn't 
really any other way that would be easiest in my opinion. I know it 
would take about 2 minutes top to setup those rules and you can modify 
them at anytime and it will instantly if you feel they need more/less 
bandwidth.

Thanks,
Michael
