some users are connecting to the wifi and using up far, far too much internet connection and i really need to know how to limit how much wifi they have acess too. can some one please help
oooooh lets take a lookPerhaps the bandwidth limiter will help... I see it under Guest Networks and maybe it's under QoS.

oooooh lets take a look
LOL ur right. now.. i AM in the setting but i dont exactly see where i can throttle certain devices? got any more info for me?Don't throttle 'em too much.... you have to live with 'em!

oooh intresting let me trySorry, I have not used it... I'd have to investigate, too.
Maybe you would have to bump them to a guest WLAN and limit all guest WLAN clients.

does it fall over really? ive found the devices and limited them sucessfully but ur saying that dosent really work?Adaptive QOS > QOS > QOS Type: Bandwidth Limiter
Which of course falls over completely for any device that uses a randomized MAC address.
Adaptive QOS possible with the FlexQOS extension might be a better bet. It wouldn't hard limit them, but it would allow you to prioritise better.
.....................................intresting............................................A number of newer mobiles and tablets can be set up to use a MAC address that is randomly generated. When using Bandwidth Limiting, Asus routers currently identify devices using their MAC address. So if you limit a device, but the next time it logs onto the network it has a different MAC address the bandwidth limiting setting would not be applied to it!

would you mind explaining a bit of how it would work? i have this really crappy tv that they use like..... netflix and hbo and a bunch of other streaming services that needs to get bandwith limited as well as a lap top that i really need to limitso... i need this adaptive extension
the wifi users are all killing my ethernet connection.. how can i limit how much wifi is actually available or allocate more resources to the ethernet connection?
well i actually did find that in there and i tinkered with it limiting all the users devices that have conected but as far as i can tell its not working as intended. for example i limited a lap top thats has been connecting to 50mbps upload and download speed but when i look at it in the net work settings it shows that the tx rate and rx rate it seems to be doing whatever it waants to doInvestigate QoS bandwidth limiter and/or same on guest WLANs. This should limit the Internet (not WiFi) for certain clients, if that's what you want.
