Hi guys
I need assistance in limiting the bandwidth used by my device. here are the details of my simple network configuration in my house.
- TIME 500Mbps
- TIME Tp-Link LAN Port 1 - connect to my Android TV (first floor of the house)
- TIME Tp-Link LAN Port 2 - connect to my Tp-link Powerline (main)
- Tp-Link Powerline 1 - used for my desktop in the study room (same floor with the main router)
- Tp-Link Powerline 2 - used for my own bedroom second floor (with reusing my old router network bridge for my room)
- devices used in my bedroom include laptops, mobile phones, and a second Android TV
My Internet on Android TV reach near maximum bandwidth (around 300+ Mbps sometimes more). And my desktop (can get the same as my Android Tv speed). However, when it comes to the Internet in my bedroom second floor, the bandwidth only around 70Mbps (max).
NOTE: when all simultaneously used at the same time.
My question, how do I limit bandwidth for my Android TV (first floor of the house) since I do not need full speed to watch Netflix/Youtube? I look at several tutorials, they suggesting use a QoS system limits the bandwidth of certain devices. But when I logged into TIME Tp-link router, and go to QoS, I was a bit clueless on how to configure it out (since in the tutorial a bit diff).
Anyone here has experience in limiting the bandwidth of certain devices for the TIME Fibre Tp-Link router? Or perhaps any advice on how to improve connectivity on my second floor?
Thanks

Hi,
May I know which TP-Link router are you using ?
The bandwidth while you performing test at your Android TV may not be the actual bandwidth being utilised when you are running Youtube/Netflix.
Stop the usage at your Desktop/Android TV, only perform a speedtest at your 2nd floor bedroom powerline. If you are still getting below 100Mbps, download the TPLink bandwidth test utility to test the actual bandwidth able to achieve between the 2 end points (from Router to 2nd floor).
If it's still giving more or less the same result, then if you still insist to use powerline solution, do get at least a AV1200 model, and you will need to do some modification on your electrical DB, we have managed to obtain more than 400Mbps on a 3-phase unit.
You can also consider mesh solutions, good results can be achieved if your positions are correct.
Last option, running physical cable, though cosmetic wise may not be nice, but it's giving more promising results.
Thanks.
