Hey guys just wondering does the unifi router have bandwidth limiting feature? I'm currently using the L7 router and these days my cousin has been hogging all my internet speed and I couldnt use it at all

For the L7 router, the bandwidth limiting feature would be called 'QoS engine'. It would be located under ADVANCED > QOS Engine.

Screen shot of the QoS engine page: http://screenshots.portforward.com/routers.../QoS_Engine.htm

I see. I have went to that page before but I dont really know how to use it

There doesn't seem to be any guides for the QoS setup for this router model. Best advice I can give would be to click on the 'More...' link on the 'Helpful Hints' column to read up on the settings description, and test the QoS configuration.

As always, it would be best to perform a backup of the router configuration before changing any router settings, just in case.

Better go for those router that can do ip based traffic limit

TP-Link-> IPQoS feature enable router
ASUS->Asus WRT loaded routers

Can u recommend me some models? Don't really know much about routers

Wat is your budget in mind?

100+, less than 300 if possible.

Fit your budget, have super simple bandwidth limit AND come with 3 day satisfaction guarantee (send back and refund if you not happy)

I assume yours is UniFi service.

TP-Link (make sure there is Unifi Support Logo or else you have to update firmware manually for it to support UniFi)
1043ND
WDR3600
WDR4300

Asus
RT-N12(Be careful with HW revision C1, you have to update firmware if you get this hw revision for it to support UniFi. D1 is support out of the box)
RT-N12HP
RT-N16U

I see. I'm more towards TP-Link and currently comparing the 1043ND and WDR3600. I can see the WDR3600 has dual band. What does it mean?

Dual band refers to the wireless frequencies that the router is able to support, namely 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

A quick and brief description about the two can be found here: http://www.tp-link.com/EN/article/?faqid=499

FYI, in order to use the 5GHz band, you will have to make sure that your wireless device/adapter/laptop is able to support the 5GHz band.

I see, thanks for the information. Next is between those 2 which has better signal strength? How do I see it from the specifications?

Hard to tell as I do not use this before.
Assume you are only 2 floor house, it should be sufficient enough for both model

Get ASUS, they are pricy, but much more stable compared to TP-Link.
TP-Link provides crappy & rarely updated firmware.

How do I know? I've own several TP-Link & ASUS routers.
Tested all of them, ASUS is still the best.

My list of routers:
TP-Link:
TL-WR1043ND
TL-WDR4300

ASUS:
RT-N16
RT-AC68U

I see. Coz last time had bad experience with their oplay so I try to stay away. Anyway I just saw their router just now and felt it has more features and i do agree that tp link is not stable. Which Asus router do I recommend?

That depends on your budget.
Personally, I'd recommend the RT-AC68U because of it's speed, reliability & wireless coverage.

But if budget is limited, RT-N16 then. Still better than any TP-Link routers I've ever used.

How much is the AC68U? My budget stated in previous post. Preferably RM100+, lower than RM300 if possible. Most importantly I want Bandwidth limiting and good wireless coverage.

Cheapest AC68U would be RM680.

With your budget, here's what you can get:

Routers with internal antennas:
ASUS RT-N13U - RM159
ASUS RT-N14U - RM199
ASUS RT-N15U - RM190
ASUS RT-N53 - RM248

Routers with external antennas:
ASUS RT-N10U - RM139
ASUS RT-N12 - RM117
ASUS RT-N12HP - RM179

Note:
I've never used any of these routers I've listed above, thus I do not know if they have the bandwidth limiting capability. You'll have to google them out yourself. I've only used RT-N16 & RT-AC68U.
