Is there a way to throttle the wireless throughput on my 7800N?
Thanks in advance

Re: Limiting Wifi throughput?
Perhaps limit by IP address using the QoS function.

Re: Limiting Wifi throughput?
I would like to limit only wireless ports via QOS, is the possible?
Parents guests likes to saturate my broadband connection using their wireless enabled equipment e.g. netbook laptop etc. :/

Re: Limiting Wifi throughput?
I would guess so.
If the allowed equipment , ie your PC/Laptop etc has fixed IP addresses then you could conceivably limit the DHCP range (nn.nn.n.100 - nn.nn.n.199) to , say , 10% of your bandwidth. Then set yours to 90%.
By fixed I mean either within DHCP or set by network adaptor.
Or you could do it by prioritization with yours being high & the others being low. This is perhaps the better option.
Note that you would lose a little of your total throughput by doing this.

Re: Limiting Wifi throughput?
Apologies if the following question is a little off topic:
Will the router see my PC if I give it a static IP outside the DHCP range?

Yes, it will.caulkz wrote:Apologies if the following question is a little off topic:

It will be exactly the same as when a static IP has been assigned to a wireless printer outside the DHCP range, or even another pc running off the same router to prevent it from picking up the same IP as the main pc.

Re: Limiting Wifi throughput?
I gave the following a try and seem's to work:
Limited the DHCP range through QOS and any pc I don't want to be limited I gave a static IP outside that range.
Cheers guys for the help
