Bandwidth Control
Bandwidth control is also known as “bandwidth management”. It allows you to artificially restrict bandwidth for one or more devices on your
network. This can be useful when, for example, you need to reserve bandwidth for a VOIP phone or you want to restrict the bandwidth available
to peer-to-peer applications.
To setup Bandwidth Control, login to the router as described in the “Advanced setup” chapter, click “Bandwidth Control” – “Rules List” in the
menu on the left and check the “Enable” checkbox. You will see the following screen:
First enter the WAN upload bandwidth and download bandwidth in kbps. As a rule, take the speeds advertised by your ISP and lower them by
10% or use a speed testing website to measure your bandwidth, and lower the outcome by 5%. Next you can start creating rules. Enter the
desired port(s) and protocol(s) that the rule should apply to or select a predefined servuce, and set the IP address of your device or an IP range
for multiple devices and set the desired guaranteed and
maximum bandwidth. Next click the “Save” checkbox.
Note: When applying traffic control rules to a certain device, it is advisable to give it a static DHCP IP address first. Otherwise the device may
change IP address and the rule will no longer apply, or apply to a different computer instead.
