Hi Dane,
many thanks for your reply and link to a newer version of firmware. I shall give this a try and see what the outcome is.
i pretty sure its not traffice meter that i want to configure, but correct me if i am wrong.
I have a 30MB lease line, the router i want to limit to 3MB of that speed. i want the users to be limited to 3MB collectively.
Network configuration>Broadband ISP Settings>Advanced
there is the option for Upload/Download Settings where you can configure the WAN connection speed (upload & Download).
setting this to 3072kbps i would of expected the end user to not get more than 3mb?
the only thing i didn't do after the last firmware was to factory reset the device. I will try this on the next upgrade, but could you confirm what i would like to do is possible and how?
I had not issues setting this feature on a Dratek router i have

I just want to follow-up on this. Were you able to try my suggestion about the How to Enable WAN Traffic Meter as well as try to upgrade the firmware to v4.3.5-3? If yes, what are your observations?
I have checked what you are referring to on where you have set the limit to 3MB when you go to Network Configuration > Broadband ISP Settings > Advanced. Were you able to try to reboot the FVS318Gv2 after you have configured the settings on the Upload/Download Settings?
