    Bandwidth Limiter. What am I doing wrong?

    @screamjojo I haven't been on these forums since I made this thread, but I was here today doing some research on new routers and aimesh and was surprised to see my old thread up near the top. It's still pretty much an issue that has never been resolved, but the old Apply limits trick still works.

    Bandwidth Limiter. What am I doing wrong?

    What you are describing is how normal QoS works, but Bandwidth Limiter on an Asus router is something different. It truly is a limiter. When it is working, the bandwidth of that particular device will always be below that mark. It will never go over even when more bandwidth is available...

    Bandwidth Limiter. What am I doing wrong?

    I'm thinking that I will be able to get it working on 7743 as well. The bug appears to be in relation to the Bandwidth Monitor tab. Once I visit that page, Bandwidth Limiter just stops working all together. Can you see if the same thing happens to you on 7743?

    Bandwidth Limiter. What am I doing wrong?

    So my investigation has uncovered something else interesting. I'm still running 7378 right now and bandwidth limiter is working for multiple devices. However, I discovered something else interesting. If I visit the Adaptive QoS page at all (the first one where it shows Bandwidth Monitor and...

    ASUS RT-AC88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7743

    I think bandwidth limiter is broken again in this version, and the version before it as well. I couldn't get it to work, so I started rolling back code until I found a version where I could get bandwidth limiter to work. Here are my findings (newest firmware to oldest): 3.0.0.4.380.7743...

    Bandwidth Limiter. What am I doing wrong?

    Okay. So here are my findings. The first time I got bandwidth limiter to work was firmware 3.0.0.4.380.4180 after setting it up the way you recommended. I then upgraded to the latest version 3.0.0.4.380.7743 and it was not working again. Instead of going back to 4180, I decided to roll back...

    Bandwidth Limiter. What am I doing wrong?

    It does appear that your process works. I removed all rules and disable BL. Then I rebooted the router. In individual steps I enabled BL, then added a single rule at a time. On the Adaptive QoS > Bandwidth Monitor screen the numbers shown for bandwidth utilization of the devices that I...

    Bandwidth Limiter. What am I doing wrong?

    I think I did add some clients when I first enabled, but I have also added a few other clients since then and they do not work either. Do I need to remove all of my rules and then add them back one-by-one, or do you think I need to go factory default again and start from scratch, then enable...

    ASUS RT-AC88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7743

    I tried factory resets and hard resets. I downgraded to 3.0.0.4.380_4180. I also tried one of Merlin's latest firmwares. I just can't get bandwidth limiter to work on this router at all. None of the devices obey the limits I have placed on them.

    Bandwidth Limiter. What am I doing wrong?

    I used to have an old RT-N66U that worked really well for me. I am only on a DSL connection, so the bandwidth limiter function of that router was excellent. I could set like a 3 Mb limit for streaming devices in the house, and I'd have a little headroom left over for gaming so that my latency...

    ASUS RT-AC88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7743

    Thanks. I think I'm just going to do a full factory reset this evening and see if I can get the bandwidth limiting to work on the default firmware. If I can at least do that, then I'll know what to expect as I apply newer versions to know if they are working or not.

    ASUS RT-AC88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7743

    I rebooted the router after applying the firmware, but I didn't unplug it or anything. I will try that when I get home tonight. If I still can't get the bandwidth throttling to work, I'm going to have to keep going backwards in firmware until I get one that does. My main reason for sticking...

    ASUS RT-AC88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7743

    Can anyone tell me if they broke the bandwidth limiter again? I just purchased an RT-AC3100 after owning a previous Asus router. I don't have the best internet so with my old router I always used bandwidth limiting to keep various streamers around the house from eating up all the bandwidth. I...
