Throttling wireless devices with a Mikrotik

[Lucifer_666]

hello MyBroadband users

i have a wireless internet service provider {5.8 GHZ UBNT Wireless dish} MiNet with 4Mbps UNCAPPED UNSHAPED and my friend has logged onto Wireless even though i gave him the password to use. How do i throttle him with the Mikrotik? i usually get 300 - 450 Kilobytes on the Network cause im connected to LAN but now ive got 6 Kilobtes at best download speed. i pay R1600 for 4 Megabits Wireless UNCAPPED UNSHAPED 120 Gig FUP

Make his IP address static via IP -> DHCP Server

then add him to a simple queue and rate limit him there

You tell him to get off your connection,

If fails, throw the mikrotik at his laptop in order to damage it beyond use. Thats the easy way...

hes actually connected via his iPhone 5S not a laptop

 

[masontdk]

i acutally contacted my network admin of the ISP and hes going to do it for me since i dont have admin priviledges so i just have a guest account on the router where i can explore the menu and features but cant change anything.

Thank you

54k rate limit should do fine, he won't be using your wifi again after the frustration of google taking 30 minutes to load

ask him to have three throttling levels

1st level (default) half speed (or just 1Mb)
2nd level once over certain limit - quarter speed (or 54k)
3rd level once over certain limil - one eighth speed (or 16k)

nah, 54k is too generous, 16k should do it just fine...

FWIW I had to look after an Exchange 2003 server running on a 16k diginet line, was fun esp when entire company sent out 10Mb emails full of tenders etc...

is that possible on the Mikrotik? are you a network admin where exactly on the router do i do this? i asked my Network admin to throttle C8:E0:EB:B6:51:1D to 20 Kilobytes

theres actually a option on the Wireless Guest Network To throttle to a certain limit i didnt put him on that one
im actually going to ask my admin to change the limit 20 Kilobytes instead of 320 kB/s

Yes, you can most absolutely.

You can throttle per device or per subnet.

For a subnet :

/queue simple
add max-limit=10M/10M name=My subnet=pcq-upload-default/pcq-download-default target=10.0.0.0/24

For a single device :

/queue simple
add max-limit=1M/1M name=Singleuser=pcq-upload-default/pcq-download-default target=10.0.0.101/24

Otherwise ask them to add some QoS too if he torrents etc so it will actually distribute bandwidth better.

find the device under leases and make it static, then rate limit it in simple queues. should work.

hmm subnet on single user seems wrong.

You are paying too much for a 4Mbps line.
