Hello,
router asus rt-ac86u after limiting the internet speed for one user, the speed is limited for everyone. Why does this happen?
 
Welcome to the forums @VaidasRA.

More information is needed.

ISP speeds, firmware version, features/options enabled/used, etc.

Screenshots of what you have changed in your settings would also be helpful to be able to give you a quick and helpful response.
 
Why does this happen?

Bandwidth Limiter is incompatible with NAT acceleration. Both Runner and Flow Cache will be disabled automatically.

The above will limit the entire network WAN-LAN throughput to the CPU packet processing speed or about 350-400Mbps.
 
How to avoid it?

With ISP line above the CPU packet processing capabilities you have to disable this Bandwidth Limiter. It limits the entire network.

The same will happen if you use Traditional or Cake QoS. Both also NAT acceleration incompatible. You perhaps don't need QoS with 500Mbps ISP.
 
And then how could I limit it?

If this Xbox(?) is wired - place a Fast Ethernet switch between the device and the router. You'll get it hardware limited to 94Mbps up/down. 🫡
 
If this device is wireless - connect it to the 2.4GHz network. You'll get it technology limited to about 90Mbps up/down for 2-stream client. 🤭
 
You may get user complaints though. A busy 2.4GHz band around you will add latency. This is Wi-Fi environment specific.
