How to lim it the wireless bandwidth on an SSID
If you wish to limit the wireless bandwidth on a particular SSID, follow the steps below. The
example below assumes that you have already set up SSID2 in the Channel and SSID page
(see how to set up multiple SSID's on page 102 for instructions).
1. Login to the router's admin pages.
2. Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the 'Please proceed with
caution' page.
3. Click on Wireless Settings in the left hand navigation menu to expand the Wireless
Settings menu.
4. Click Bandwidth Control in the left hand navigation menu
5. In the SSID2 row check 'Enable' in both the 'upstream' and 'downstream' fields.
6. We will limit the upstream to 64 kilobytes (about 0.5 Mbps) – in the SSID2 upstream field
enter a value of 64.
7. We will limit the downstream to 128 kilobytes (about 1 Mbps) – in the SSID2 downstream
field enter a value of 128:
Description
Check this option to enable Bandwidth Control on
upstream (upload) traffic on the wireless LAN for
SSID1, 2 or 3. You must also enter a value in the
upstream Kbytes/sec field to set the maximum
bandwidth allowed.
This field allows you to configure the maximum
wireless bandwidth value for upstream (upload)
traffic on the wireless LAN for SSID1, 2 or 3.
The value is in Kilobytes per second (and not
Kilobits)
1 Kilobyte per second = 8 Kilobits per second
128 Kilobytes per second = 1 Megabit per second
Check this option to enable Bandwidth Control on
downstream (download) traffic on the wireless LAN
for SSID1, 2 or 3. You must also enter a value in the
downstream Kbytes/sec field to set the maximum
bandwidth allowed.
This field allows you to configure the maximum
wireless bandwidth value for downstream
(download) traffic on the wireless LAN for SSID1, 2
or 3.
The value is in Kilobytes per second (and not
Kilobits)
1 Kilobyte per second = 8 Kilobits per second
128 Kilobytes per second = 1 Megabit per second
