NETGEAR WAC510 - Set Bandwidth Rate Limits for a Wifi Network

This option functions only if you set up a RADIUS server (see Set up RADIUS
servers on page 126).
9. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. Only WiFi devices for which the MAC address is on the MAC
ACL can connect to the access point through this SSID. (These devices might be
able to connect to the access point through another SSID if you did not set up MAC
ACL security for that SSID.)
Set bandwidth rate limits for a WiFi network
You can set rate limits for the upload and download bandwidths for devices that are
connected to a WiFi network. The minimum bandwidth rate is 64 Kbps, the maximum
bandwidth rate is 1024 Mbps. You can set one rate for the upload bandwidth and
another rate for the download bandwidth.
Note: Before you set bandwidth rate limits, check the Internet speed of the access
point (see Check the Internet speed on page 216).
To set bandwidth rate limits for devices that are connected to a WiFi network:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
If your browser does not open the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 41.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page
26).
The Dashboard page displays.
4.
Select Management > Configuration > Wireless > Basic.
The page that displays lets you select an SSID.
