    First I will guess, then do some research.
    You will have to study over the documentation carefully.
    Short answer, No.
    Long answer, yes, but not by using IP address.Or MAC

    Without looking at  the manual, here is what comes to mind.
    The net gear has a way of creating more that one wireless network.
    You would create a network for use by Mom and Dad and another network for the
    children.
    OR
    A network for the paying customers who by coffee and breakfast.
    Another network for those who but a coffee refile and nothing more.

    Let the better network have full speed. They can watch You Tube.
    The lessor network have BW of 2.2 mega bit. Enough for mail and Facebook.

    Of course, the two networks have separate passwords.

    EDIT:
    I have yet to find the details. I think it is "guest" network.
    When you are in the interface, you want to look for the Guest Networking settings. These settings can vary in location from router-to-router, but typically, these settings are found under the "Wireless" settings in the interface or in a dedicated "Guest Network" section.

    jason2074,
    Good link. I was wrong. You can use the MAC address to control bandwidth. The OP (original poster) should read over that link given by jason2074.
