Is there a way to control the other IPs on the Router / Switches?
Is there a way to control the other IPs on the Router / Switches? Such as, limiting the bandwidth speed or how much they can download or upload. Appreciate anyones help. Maybe there is some software out there, I can't find one. I checked out NetLimter, but I think it is limited.*BUG* 2.6.1.16 SSID Name Character Limit Change
Count me in as one of the folks whose system was auto updated from firmware 2.0.0.74 to 2.1.1.16. I'm also experiencing from the various other issues reported, but wanted to touch upon this particular issue concerning the wireless SSID character limitation/display issue I'm experiencing. Prior to the firmware upgrade to 2.1.1.16, I had a 17 character SSID brodcast name. After the firmware upgrade, my SSID name was chopped down to only 15 characters (last 2 characters were dropped off). It took me a bit of troubleshooting to figure out why my wireless devices were not connecting to my known network, and that’s when I discovered the discrepancy in SSID name. Oddly enough, I was able to go into GUI and re-apply my original 17 character SSID name, and my devices were able to re-connect as expected. However, the GUI SSID Name textbox is still only displaying the first 15 characters, despite the system broadcasting the 17 character name. This sounds like a simple character length/display coding issue that was introduced in this version that will hopefully be trivial enough to correct. I would appreciate if others could duplicate this issue and acknowledgment from the Netgear Support/Dev team that this is an issue they will investigate.

[FVS318G] MAC bandwidth limit
Hi, is there a way to limit trafic on the WAN port for a specific MAC address ? The user is using Wifi with a home Netgear access point (WPN802). From Wifi, one user is eating all the bandwidth. There's no Layer 2 switch. It seems the bandwidth profile on the router can't do this. No rules available on the hotspot. Do you see another way to do it ? Thanks, Vincent
