The Bandwidth Control feature is used to fully utilize your limited 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

Bandwidth Control
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 4Mbps 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. The IP addresses
192.168.1.110.
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 it easily.
About how to configure address reservation, please refer to
Reserve LAN IP Addresses
