I NEED EXPLANATION ON BANDWIDTH IN USER MANAGER

Hardware MikroTik hardware general
1

We are currently using MT for our hotspot. I want to understand and know the actual bandwidth that a computer will use to browse comfortably, assuming the user is authenticated thru mikrotik hotspot. The issue of kib in mikrotik, which i am not familiar with. We have about 20 clients that wants to use the hotspot, i want to know the way MT allocated bandwidth to clients and to know if it is different from how other pacekt shapers does theirs. Someone suggested to me that the best way to assign them bandwidth is one pc to be 4k/8k (tx/rx).

Again, how do i export my hotspot users created using UM be moved to another MT since we want to change the computer already in use.

I equally need to know step by step of setting up a transparent web-proxy and how to clear the catch in MT.

Your help and guide here will be appreciated

4k is definitely not usable

oldest modems had speeds of 28 and 32kbps, so don’t set it below that.

kib is 1024 bytes, it’s new terminology:

kb is 1000 bytes

Thanks for the reply.

From what you are saying, the mimimum should be 28kb or 32kb. what will be the best option for wireless clients for one pc.

I have another problem, i want to know how to setup a transparent proxy to allow opening sites that are https and other sites that are secured.

right now we are using mikrotik for client side, but i want to set up transparent web proxy in their radio. The router board is ver. 3.10

This is an easy tutorial for transparent proxy and website access list:
