Bandwidth Control

Bandwidth Control

The Bandwidth Control feature is used to fully utilize your limit bandwidth

and optimize the load respectively. With this feature enabled, you can assign a

specific minimum or maximum bandwidth for each computer, thus minimizing

the impact caused when the connection is under heavy load.

Use an independent bandwidth and enjoy a good Internet experience without being affected by

other users who are sharing the same router.

For example

, my roommate and I share 512Kbps Upstream Bandwidth and 8Mbps Downstream

Bandwidth via this router, she likes to watch live show and play online games, which may take up

much bandwidth. I don’t want to be affected, so we agree to equally distribute the bandwidth. Our

IP addresses are 192.168.0.101 and 192.168.0.110.

To use the bandwidth control feature, you’d better set static IP Address on each computer to be

controlled or configure Address reservation on the router in order to manage easily. About how to

configure address reservation, please refer to
