IP Kid control doesnt enable unlimited rate when time comes

RouterOS General
1

Hi All,
I setup that my kids have limited internet for main part of a day and streaming videos like Youtube almost don’t work, but important chat tools like Viber etc work. For this I limiting rate to 64k. With 64k almost impossible to use Yotube and the rest video streams :slight_smile:
But unfortunatelly after rate limitation, it doesnt off when unlimted rate period have to be applied (19-22h) - it remains limited.

local time 21:10 ant rate limiting should be off but it still on “L”. If I enable/disable then it becomes rate unlimited.

[admin@MikroTik] /ip kid-control> print det
Flags: X - disabled, P - paused, B - blocked, L - rate-limited

Try this (and please use export instead of print)

/ip kid-control
add fri=0s-1d mon=0s-1d name=Child2 rate-limit=64k sat=0s-1d sun=0s-1d thu=0s-1d tue=0s-1d tur-fri=7h-21h30m tur-mon=7h-20h30m tur-sat=7h-21h30m tur-sun=7h-20h30m tur-thu=7h-20h30m tur-tue=7h-20h30m tur-wed=7h-20h30m wed=0s-1d
add fri=0s-1d mon=0s-1d name=Child1 rate-limit=64k sat=0s-1d sun=0s-1d thu=0s-1d tue=0s-1d tur-fri=7h-22h30m tur-mon=7h-21h30m tur-sat=7h-22h30m tur-sun=7h-21h30m tur-thu=7h-21h30m tur-tue=7h-21h30m tur-wed=7h-21h30m wed=0s-1d

What I did:

  • First set limited all day
  • Second add unlimited hours

But isn’t the same as mine ?

/ip kid-control
add disabled=no fri=6h-23h30m mon=6h-23h30m name=kid1 rate-limit=64k sat=6h-23h30m sun=6h-23h30m thu=6h-23h30m tue=6h-23h30m tur-fri=19h-22h tur-mon=19h-22h tur-sat=19h-22h \
    tur-sun=19h-22h tur-thu=19h-22h tur-tue=19h-22h tur-wed=19h-22h wed=6h-23h30m
add disabled=no fri=6h-23h30m mon=6h-23h30m name=kid2 rate-limit=64k sat=6h-23h30m sun=6h-23h30m thu=6h-23h30m tue=6h-23h30m tur-fri=19h-22h tur-mon=19h-22h tur-sat=19h-22h \
    tur-sun=19h-22h tur-thu=19h-22h tur-tue=19h-22h tur-wed=19h-22h wed=6h-23h30m

I know I ran into (the same?) problems when not using the entire day for limited rates.
In addition, what version of RouterOS are you running?

mine

[admin@MikroTik] /system routerboard> pr 
       routerboard: yes
        board-name: hAP ac
             model: RouterBOARD 962UiGS-5HacT2HnT
     serial-number: 830807XXXXX
     firmware-type: qca9550L
  factory-firmware: 3.41
  current-firmware: 6.46.4
  upgrade-firmware: 6.47.1

btw wondering, what is a RouterOS firmware 6.47.1 of my router and routerboard’s firmware 6.46.4 ?

I’m running now 6.47.1l i think :slight_smile:

You are runing RouterOS 6.47.1, but your RouterBOOT bootloader ist still 6.46.4.
Use

/system routerboard upgrade

, hit yes and on the next reboot it will be upgraded to 6.47.1.
