Network bandwidth resources are limited. Some computers use a large amount of bandwidth for high-speed download and online videos, leading to slow internet access and network cards on other computers. The speed limit function can limit the maximum uplink/downlink rate of a computer, so as to ensure the reasonable use of the entire network bandwidth resources.
This paper introduces the application and setting method of TL-WDR8600's speed limit function.
In the dormitory, many students use vrouters. Xiao Li played games and watched videos, which occupied a large amount of traffic. As a result, other students slowly opened their webpages. The network administrator limits the speed of Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang's mobile phones as follows:

Log on to the vro management page and click
Device ManagementTo go to the management settings page, as shown in the following figure:
1
, Find the host to be controlled
There are multiple terminals on this page. Find the terminal to be controlled (the speed usage is abnormal or determined by the MAC address), as shown below:
How can I view the MAC address of a terminal?
2
, Limit the speed of the corresponding host
Click the terminal name and change it to a common name for easy management. Then click
Speed limit, Respectively, limit the maximum upstream/downstream speed.
In the same way, set the speed limit for the phone.
3
, Check the setting effect
In the status, the uplink and downlink speeds of Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang are controlled as follows:
So far, the network speed limit has taken effect and bandwidth can be used properly.
You may be concerned about the following issues:
1
What is the maximum speed limit?
Answer:: The speed limit is related to your total bandwidth and the application of the restricted terminal. For example, if your bandwidth is 20 Mbps, the maximum bandwidth of a certain terminal is 8 Mbps, but if the total bandwidth is only 8 Mbps, you need to reconsider.
Therefore, we provide a speed reference (1 Byte = 8 bit, for example, 20 Kbps means 160 Kbps). You can set it as needed:

Is the address still under control?
Answer:: The speed control mechanism of the router is to control the internet speed through the MAC address of the terminal. After the IP address is changed, the speed control is still under control. We recommend that you name all terminals for ease of management.
3
, How to cancel the speed limit?
Answer:: On the router interface

4
Can I provide a terminal with a minimum bandwidth?
Answer:: You can only limit the maximum bandwidth of upper and lower lines, but cannot set the minimum bandwidth.
