Is the bandwidth limiter working with any firmwares? including Merlins?

[fearz]

I’ve been trying to use Bandwidth limiter since Adaptive QOS is NOT working as supposed to whether with FreshQOS installed or not...

But Bandwidth limiter won’t work also!

I set a limit to a device and it just wont take effect!

Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes !

Not sure which model or fw you are using, but I've been using it on rt-ac88, gt-ac5300 and rt-ax88 with newest stock and Merlins.

I stumbled over this "fair share" setup using limiters years ago, and I have never looked back after that. It's easy and works wonder, gets the most out of your line at the same time as it ensure everybody gets a fair share if needed. In my opinion, look no further...

1. Make sure hardware acceleration is off.
2. Let's say your routers lan ip is 192.168.1.1. Then type in 192.168.1.0/24 as the target, then your lines download and upload speed minus a little bit, and then voila...

Asus says you can choose between these three formats: 192.168.1.2-100 , 192.168.1.* or 192.168.1.0/24
I have experienced the last couple of years that I have to use one of the other format to get it working again after fw upgrades, but one of them works. I have just switched between 1.* and .0/24 notation.

You're maybe right that limit one client doesn't work, because I've not bothered trying it. The solution over handles everything… Best of luck

Yes +1 The bandwidth limiter works very well. I have 23 individual device limits and it works flawlessly. I too was having issues with other types of QOS. My traffic is mainly VPN based. It seems that adaptive QOS of any flavor doesn't do the job that limiter does.
