Hello,
You can limit speed by client. I do it by mac address, you can do it by ip
address in captive portal by Pass-through MAC or Allowed IP addresses.
Personally I use Pass-through MAC with limitation and it work very well.
Visibly you can Enable per-user bandwidth restriction in the first tab
(Captive portal)
For the total limitation I use Traffic Shaper by interfaces the WANx are
for upload and LAN if for download. You can put rules for QoS. the first
time you can use the Wizard, and modify queues after.
The limitations are :
- for download you can only limit for total of all connections (I have
multi-Wan : 5Wan with 10Mbits (5*10Mbps=50Mbps) so my limit for the LAN
queue is 48Mbits), it is recommended to put less than the real bandwidth to
never saturate you DSL connexion.
- I think it can be interesting to limit to a number of packets by second.
Because in DSL (I have test with ADSL in France) a big number of packets
increase ping almost if only half of the bandwidth is use.
If you have solution for this points don't hesitate ! Thanks
David
That connection should be more then sufficient for most people. If it were
me I would throttle at 1x512 or even 512 x 512. Web surfing and email by
nature are burst traffic so everyone should be happy. Smart phone and
tablets are a good match. I serious doubt people are going to be streaming
video in a bar so I don't foresee any issues.
Post by Ryan ColemanIt appears I can throttle individual users on the Captive Portal, but how
can I limit the speed of that entire network? Is that through Traffic
Shaping? And how would I do that?
The bar, I'm afraid, only has a 12x1 DSL connection. I might be able to
convince them to upgrade the speed but that's a shot in the dark. And from
the looks of the options at their provider it's slim pickings.
TIA,
Ryan
