Guest Network Limit Speed

Hi All,

 

Looking at buy the Nighthawk XR500 but what I want to know is - Can I limit the global download speed on the guest network?

  • Technically no. You could limit the guest network to only 2.4Ghz which would limit the speed they could get up to.

    However, the QoS on the XR500 would prevent any devices on your network to lag. So unless there is a very specific scenario where you need to limit the bandwidth on a broad scale guest devices wouldn't cause you any issues.
