hi can anyone suggest me a router/modem that im able to control/allocate bandwidth pls . i have 50mb/s but my average speed is only 500kb/s!! damm tenants, when asked, no one admits

prefer to be something simple to set up.

You could use this router, TP-Link TL-WR841ND

Get an ASUS RT-AC68U, or a Huawei WS880 (with Xwrt-Vortex firmware) and use the bandwidth limiter function.

I am using it with the Huawei WS880.

thank you but mine is a dff one

my jaw almost fell off looking at the price of these 2, any other alternative?

Before I upgraded to the Huawei WS880, I was using the entry-level ASUS RT-N12D1.

It also has the bandwidth limiter function with the latest firmware.

It is only RM149 at Lazada.

I am currently using the RT-N12D1 as a backup router in case anything happens to the WS880.

thank you, is it easy to setup or do i need to flash it to other firmware?

the RT-N12D1 can support 50 Mbps?

Yes, it is easy to set up.

Just go to QOS, enable bandwidth Limiter, and enter the desired maximum bandwidth for the IP addresses you want to control.

No, you don't need to flash it to other firmware.

Just flash it to the latest firmware version.

1. What router you are currently using. Does it has 5GHz wifi? If not, that might explain the poor network performance and might not be the fault of your tenants. You have to understand with more neighbours getting higher internet speed & still remain with their 2.4GHz only wifi, of course the 2.4GHz frequency will more much more congested than before. Add it with more selfish idiots forcing their 2.4GHz wifi channel width to 40MHz, making the situation much worse. Try ping to your router & if the ping is as high as hundreds of ms, it means the interference is really bad.

2. Mikrotik is actually a much better option if you want to control the bandwidth. You can use their user manager as radius server and control the user access individually as well as limit the bandwidth. But it will require some technical knowledge (you can always watch youtube tutorial) to set it up. Hap ac lite is about 250 & hap lite is about 145 and it is much better than RT-N12D1. But if your 2.4GHz wifi has too much interference, try get dual band wifi instead. You can get mikrotik router without wifi & repurpose the existing router as access point only.

3. One of the cheapest dual band router I can recommend is mi router 3 flashed to padavan firmware, under 100 with discount voucher. It might be officially selling here soon https://www.lowyat.net/2017/129193/xiaomi-r...router-3-sirim/

All TM UniFi routers have QOS function.

QoS is NOT bandwidth control.

For ASUSwrt, the bandwidth limiter function is placed under the QoS tab.

Not all routers with QoS have bandwidth limiter or bandwidth control.

can it?

ok ill try to look out. also for the unifi setting will it be easy like streamyx?

im on RG4332 very old model i guess, coz i never sign up for new account, keep online upgrade thus they didnt provide any new router, also not sure about the 5Ghz.
when i ping im getting like 15ms only

i've tried getting my hands on mikrotik once but was too complicated for a noob like me and i sold it off

Aren't you referring to this? This is TP-Link archer C1200 from TM.


Attached thumbnail(s)

mine is like this

No, I am referring to ASUSwrt bandwidth limiter under the QoS tab



As I said earlier, not all routers with QoS have bandwidth control.

The RG4332 given to me by TM does not have it.

Your TM router is the RG4332, same as what I was given.

It is confirmed that it does not have bandwidth control.

So is the QOS control in my TP-Link C1200 same as yours?

The QoS portion should be the same, but your TP-Link does not seem to have bandwidth control.

Strange, because I used to own a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND version 3, and it has QoS and bandwidth control.

Yeah, C5v2 and C1200 have different features.


C5v2 has bandwidth control but no QOS.


C1200 has QoS but no bw control.

guys what about the TP-LINK AC1750? is it good compared to the ones mentioned here like ASUS RT-AC68U, or a Huawei WS880

I use Mikrotik to control bandwidth limits. It something like this.


What router are you using now?

The rate limit only apply download right? how about upload?

This post has been edited by Mali: Apr 16 2017, 09:13 PM

Both up and down. For the easy setup, same rate limit to up & down. You can also do different rate limits.

im on RG4332 given by unifi, once had mikrotik but didnt knw how to set it up so i sold mine away. looking for smtg which is easy to set up

I see. Yeah, it can be quite intimidating but now got Quickset wizard and a setup guide here. As for setting rate limit, I don't think it gets easier than this:


For "easy to use", I guess you can also look at Archer C5 or one of the Asus models.
Archer C5 is like this.

Hey everyone I would appreciate and be able to help on guest bandwidth control.

The current TP-Link Archer c5 v2 having issue with guest bandwidth control, you only able to limit upload but not download. I contacted TPLink and they reproduce a new firmware to me to get it work and not release to public


- Unfortunately to say the Archer c5 provided to me having issue with LAN port keep on intermittent and cut off. I m so happy they finally get it replace c1200
yesterday

Feedback on archer c1200
- no guest bandwidth control
- The biggest impact , the router take ages to boot up, compare to archer c5 , is it normal. Can everyone feedback on this router how long take to boot up on your router, or just happened to mine only

may i ask what model and firmware?

That screenshot is from a RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN running 6.38.5.

Are there any router support bandwidth control by SSID? For instance, create 2 SSID from the router and 1st SSID have full bandwidth without limit while 2nd SSID with bandwidth limit like first class and economy class in airline.

Most routers, but not all, can do that. Here's an example from a Mikrotik router. The "mtk" SSID is limited to 10/10 Mbps.

thank you

Does this router ASUS RT-N12D1 support WDS Bridging ? I was wondering if i can bridge this between a MIFI with the Asus through WDS bridging because i wanted to use the bandwidth limiter function on the ASUS to limit ip based user so the data won't burn fast on the MIFI.

Does TP-Link TL-WR841N or TL-WR840N support this bandwidth limit feature?
