Not with HughesNet's modem, but many third party routers allow you to limit the speed, and some even for each individual connected device. You still have to use HughesNet's modem regardless, but you can use a third party router with it. Many people do, as the WiFi with the HughesNet modem is fairly basic, whereas the WiFi with third party routers is very often more 'full fledged', giving more settings options, and as mentioned, the ability to limit speed. You aren't required to use the modem's built in WiFi.
