limit bandwith in users profile

RouterOS General
1

under Hotspot → users → profiles i have create a profile and i cant figure out what value it wants me to use.

i want to limit the user to 54kbps/54kbps .. ya i know its slow. but thats what i want.

if i type 54/54 it crawls. literally so i thought maybe it wants the 54kbps translated into bits or bytes?

i am using the Bit Calculator located here http://www.matisse.net/bitcalc/ and if i enter 54 kbps (kilobits) i get the following:

bits 1048576
bytes 131072
kilobits 1024
kilobytes 128
megabits 1
megabytes 0.125
gigabits 0.0009765625
gigabytes 0.0001220703125

now which one of those numbers do i input into the Rate Limit (rx/tx) box?

thanks

If you want to use easy way to limit your client use webbox>SimpleQueues>Simple queue ADD,and limit 54000 out 54000 in and target which ip you want to limit and interface than Ip-address belongs.

but i am using dhcp and if i do your method i’d have to make a static ip. (not something i want to do for users)

54kb *1024 = 55296

55296/55296

Or simply: 54k/54k

The fields in the user profiles are in bits per second. You’ll need trailing zeros to get the speed you want, ie 54000 instead of 54.

thats the problem i am having. i have tried 54000/54000 but that doesnt work. i’ll try 55296/55296
