Asymmetric speed limit for home devices
KeeneticOS features the ability to configure asymmetric inbound/outbound speed limitations for registered and unregistered hosts in router network segments.
Important
Currently, the Speed limit feature only works for IPv4 traffic.
Make sure that the Traffic shaper system component is installed in the router. To do so, click on Component options on the General System Settings page in the KeeneticOS Updates and Component Options section.
Go to the Client lists page and click on a registered device. In the settings window that appears, enable the Speed limit option and then Asymmetric. In the Download field, specify the incoming maximum speed in kbps or Mbps (an integer from 64 to 100000 for kbps and 1 to 976 for Mbps). In the Upload field, specify the outbound maximum speed.
In our example, for a home network device, we set a limit for incoming traffic of 4 Mbps and outgoing traffic of 100 Mbps.
To check the connection speed, let's measure the speed using the Speedtest web service from the device, for which the limit is applied:
Similarly, you can set up asymmetric inbound/outbound speed limits for unregistered hosts.
On the Client lists page, click Settings for unregistered clients, enable the Asymmetric option and in the Download speed limit and Upload speed limit fields, specify maximum speeds for incoming and outgoing traffic accordingly.
