RV220W Bandwidth Limiting

[thomas.milliken]

I have an RV220W which I would like to set bandwidth limiting on. When we upload files to yousendit or an FTP server, it saturates the connection and essentially stops any other traffic until the upload is finished. Looking at the manual, it looks like it should do this, but does not seem clear to me. Can anyone enlighten me on this subject?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Thomas, you are correct the router supports the bandwidth limit for upload. To the best of my recollection this is how to set it up-

QoS -> WAN QoS profiles

Enable

Choose rate limit

Then look at the WAN QoS profile table, click ADD. Name this whatever you want, choose a priority. The next part is important... you need to specify the minimum/maximum for the rate limit.  This value is KBPS. So if you have a 10 mbit connection and you want your FTP to use only 200 KBPS enter the value 200 for minimum and maximum. Save this setting.

Next you need to bind the profile to host which is QoS > Profile Binding.

Click Add, on the drop down click the name of the profile you made. Choose traffic selector as IP address range. Choose your entire subnet such as 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Then choose the service, in your case FTP. If the FTP service is not there you need to make a custom service first then choose this. Click save.

Once you have everything saved, reboot the router then test it.
