XR1000 Limiting Bandwidth Per Device
I am currently trying to limit bandwidth with certain devices, is it possible to set limited speed of devices based on an assign static IP's? I've tried to set the "Bandwidth allocation - Devices" a...
You'll need to disable Share Excess on Bandwidth Allocation if you want to do that and currently it applies to all devices but it's something that has been requested before so we'll likely implement it in future.
- I'll definitely be looking forward for that update!! I also have been having issues with the Connection benchmarking the Speed test isnt true by a huge margin. I have a 90 MB connection and when I do the Duma Os speed test it only peaks @ 2MB. Upload speed is normal and accurate. Speedtest.net averages 89 -94MB and it is also affecting the Congestion Control Auto Setup.. It keeps my DL speed @ 100% and only adjusts my Upload during the 7 tests.
Things I tried, Full reset --> setup same result. Firmware Downgrade + Full reset ---> Same result.
Firmware Upgrade + Full reset ---> SR...
Take in mind I've constantly cleared cookies, Cache, website Data etc... on all prior tests before logging into the router. I've tried Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. I go to DSLreports and manually adjust the sliders in Congestion Control in regards to buffer bloat I was able to achieve ( A+) (A)( A+) in their 3 categories. There must of been some change in the Duma OS speed test server that is causing this. I've purchased this router directly from Netgear's website back in June of this year and with all the adjusting and attempts to improve my experience I had frozen or slow responsive UI, some points where I had to do a scheduled reboot every midnight or else I would get stuck at the QoS Congestion Control screen when I click "never" or "Always"and it just times out and says something about Rapp... I then came to terms during fall and not fiddle with the router and just use it as a basic router.. Now recently I wanted to control the QoS, compare some connection benchmarking results and here I am.. I hope a new patch comes soon for the XR1000.- Don't worry about that, we're still improving the results reported by Benchmark, the results there won't be a true indication currently.
