RT-AC68U - Bandwidth Monitor

[schwartz914]

Hey Guys,

Just purchased this device (Yesterday), installed Asuswrt-Merlin on it as it is still very close to stock but with fixes and what not.

I upgraded because my old router finally died after 5 years of use. I am trying to setup the bandwidth monitor. What I'd like to do is too be able to limit bandwidth to a range of IP's. So basically I assign devices IP's (Step Daughter one get 200-209, Step Daughter two get 210-219 etc etc) I then want to assign bandwidth to those ranges. Is it possible with the stock or this firmware?

Cheers
Peter

Yes you can do this with AsusWRT-Merlin firmware.

Set the (QoS Type) bandwidth limiter up in Adaptive QoS > QoS and set the limit for an IP range based on CIDR block prefix.

You could use for example "192.168.1.200/29" to specify a range of 192.168.1.200 - 192.168.1.207
Or "192.168.1.200/28" to specify a range of 192.168.1.200 - 192.168.1.215

That is Awesome. Thanks. I will try it out later tonight.

Hey,

So I eventually set this up but it does not seem to be working.

I have set i t up but when I complete a speed test on a device that is within those IP's, it is not limited.

Am I missing something??

Any thoughts on this??

So your limited ip ranges are:

192.168.1.180/28 - 192.168.1.176-192.168.1.191
192.168.1.200/28 - 192.168.1.192-192.168.1.207
192.168.1.220/28 - 192.168.1.208-192.168.1.223

Are you sure you testing device is in one of those ranges?

You can use following CIDR calculation to find useful ranges: http://www.ipaddressguide.com/cidr

I have all devices that are here in the house connected to the router assigned a fixed IP on the "LAN > DHCP Server" page and added rules for the Bandwidth-limiter based on their individual IP's. There are here only 9 devices connected, so not to much work to set that up on our network..
