I think we already knew that.
Could you answer the questions in my previous message?
What they boil down to is why do you want to limit the internet speed for some devices connected to your router?
Knowing that might help people to offer thoughts beyond simply looking up QoS in the manual for your R6220.
- There are some devices, that are using my internet for free. I just don't wanna block them. I wanna limit there internet speed to the that they don't wanna use it willingly

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Check the section in the manual Optimize Internet Streaming with QoS.This is really designed to give priority to things you want to favour, like games, rater than to slow down things you want to squelch.
