How can I set up our router (D-Links 655) to limit our roommate's bandwidth?

You can't. D-Link advertises:
so if your roomie is video streaming, online gaming or talking on VoIP, he gets priority.

What happens when all four of us are gaming, streaming, using VoIP?

Then you clearly need more than one Internet connection; at that point it's not the router that's giving you grief, it's the pipe.

You can pay your ISP for more bandwidth.
 As the QoS feature is turned off by default - you could try turning QoS on. That may have the effect of 'tuning' your connection for better overall performance, if all connections are using functions that QoS claims to benefit... |

I have the following settings for the QoS Engine: * WAN Traffic Shaping: Enable Traffic Shaping: checked Automatic Uplink Speed: checked Measured Uplink Speed: 8527 Connection Type: Auto-detect Detected xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network: Yes QoS Engine Setup: Enable QoS Engine: checked Automatic Classification: checked Dynamic Fragmentation: checked 10 -- QoS Engine Rules: I don't know how to set this section up .... What would I put in the following fields: "Name" "Priority" "Protocol" "Local IP Range" "Local Port Range" "Remote IP Range" "Remote Port Range,"

You decide what goes there... depends on your local use.
From the d-link support pages: http://www.dlink.ca/support/faq/?pro...%20/%20DIR-628 |

How do I figure out the IP address range?

If you're trying to interfere with one user's priority, then assign static IPs to all the users on the router, and pick the IP that fits that user.
