Bandwidth control
-
Please allow bandwidth control on Amplifi. Some simple setting where you could just put 1,2,3,4, etc... for max Mbps....
-
@Zachary-Mock This feature is available on the AmpliFi Alien and AmpliFi Gamer's Edition product lines as a global feature for all devices connected to the network.
-
Wow, I couldn't find that in any marketing. What kind of setting is it? Is there somewhere I can see that before I purchase system?
-
@UI-Brett fq codel or cake? What is the max it will support?
-
It seems to be a form of SQM, but I don't think that was ever confirmed...
-
@Derek-Saville reminds me of the smart queues on the erX. So probably codel, probably not going to support more than 300mb is my uneducated guess.
-
Can anyone confirm if you can do this on every device you want to limit? When I reached out to Amplifi Sales support, they said you can NOT throttle any bandwidth. I know with Ubiquiti products allow it but want to find out if any Amplifi products allow for bandwidth control per device.
-
@Zachary-Mock This is not per device, this configuration is applied to the entire network. In addition, this feature is only available on the AmpliFi Gamer's Edition and AmpliFi Alien
-
@UI-Brett I have the AmpliFi Gamer's Edition and can't find this setting. Where can I find it?
-
Hi @Jeff-Johnson - the QoS Latency Bandwidth settings are located in the web user interface
You can find instructions at the bottom of this article page under the section 'Adjusting limits in the web UI'...

@Derek-Saville I appreciate the reply but unfortunately this is not useful. I need to limit individual devices, which is a function available in the last few cheap routers I owned. Specifically, no device should be able to consume all of the available bandwidth. I also need to limit video streaming devices to prevent maxing the available monthly data available to me. These are pretty basic functions and I'm disappointed that this device doesn't support it.

No worries @Jeff-Johnson - since you were referencing @UI-Brett (who is no longer in the community) I figured you read his responses that "This feature is available...as a global feature for all devices connected to the network" and "This is not per device, this configuration is applied to the entire network"

@Derek-Saville I got the answer I needed so I appreciate it. I put the AmpliFi in bridge mode and took the old Asus out of the box and I'm using it as a router now. I had everything working like I want in less than an hour. Asus has great parental controls and lets me throttle by device. Say goodbye to your 4k streaming, kids.
