I am not able to set up a queue correctly.

RouterOS General
1

I am attempting to apply a speed limit to a certain IP. I do the following procedure:

I open the queue from winbox

In the general tab:

  • Name = asdfdafdsf
  • Target Address = Users IP address (they all have 2, one for the modem and one for their computer. I use the computer one)
    *Max Limits = I set them and check target upload and target download

Under Advanced:

  • Interface = all

This does not actually seem to intercept and queue any traffic. Does this only work if the mikrotik is experience more traffic than the network can handle?

Where did I go wrong?

Change queue type - “default-small” not working :slight_smile:

What should I change it to?

Thank you for the response!!

If you have one queue per client then not a big difference, anything except “default-small” - check out manual http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Queue#Queue_Types for more details.
Also consider moving to queue trees & PCQ http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Bandwidth_Managment_and_Queues
