uneedav8 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I need to reduce the wireless connection speed on my network. I don't want all the wireless devices using all the bandwidth (streaming videos,etc). I do need them to have a connection but I want to keep most of the speed to the wired computers. Is there any easy way to accomplish this? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroFight Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 You can often enable QoS (Quality of Service) on your router to throttle devices connected to WiFi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Any descent router will have QoS option and the interface and options will vary with manufacturer and model. See the documentation of the router and read about QoS, and then configure it.

wevsspot Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Holy bejeebers.............. I just tried to decipher the QOS setup on that sucker (via the Adminstrator's guide) and it is way beyond me. That is one complicated enterprise router. I can't help but just wanted to pop in and say good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 what router are you using ? Sonicwall TZ170 Is the sonicwall handling wireless or do you have a separate access point connected to it? If the sonicwall is handling wireless then just dedicate a specific IP range/subnet for wireless clients and then create a firewall policy that limits the bandwidth for that range/subnet. If you have a separate access point handling wireless then just create a firewall policy to limit bandwidth for whatever interface the access point is connected to. Holy bejeebers.............. I just tried to decipher the QOS setup on that sucker (via the Adminstrator's guide) and it is way beyond me. That is one complicated enterprise router. I can't help but just wanted to pop in and say good luck. A tz170 isn't even close to "enterprise" class. Just an older SOHO firewall.
