Limit Bandwidth without giving priority?

Post by GargoyleNoob »

I know this can be done VIA Wi-Fi by utilizing the guest network, but can it be done VIA Ethernet? I want to limit the bandwidth on my console without prioritizing its traffic in any way.

Use QOS and create a class with max BW. Then shove the device into that class.
Need a normal class too for everything else

But in order for me to do that, I'm going to have to give that class "some" kind of priority, right?

As of right now, this is what I have or my upload classes: https://gyazo.com/578cec856766a8a74093b6f70657f8c0

In order for me to assign my console to the gaming class, I'd need to add a rule with it's IP like this, right? https://gyazo.com/8af468ad9ea13cb799decce3fed4fc56

In my default TP-link FW, I could limit bandwidth on a device's mac or static IP without enabling QOS at all.

If you want, you can use Quotas without QOS (your mileage may vary, I’ve always used it with QOS).

Setup a quota for the device which expires immediately (say a limit of 1MB total).
Once limit exceeded, set throttle connection to your requested speed.
