Now i want to limit the maximum download and upload for each access point.
The way i am trying to do this
1)create queue type pcq rate 10 dsc address tick.
2)create queue type pcq rate 10 src address tick
3)create simple queue and on advanced set target download and target upload the on queue type i set the 1 and 2 i created above.
My plan was to do this to all 7 IP’s since i want to set difference speeds to each access point but i fail to do this.
Am i doing something wrong ? And what is the simpliest way to just limit the upload and download for each access point ?
Hello, just to be sure
Your APs are natting? If not, all devices are getting different IPs and the queue will not apply to this traffic (If I understand well)

Hello excuse me but i am fairly new to this since i did not do the installation of those. I have full access to the interface at http://192.168.1.2 and i can check something if you wish.
APs are Mikrotik?
In any case, try to identify if devices connected to APs are getting IP addresses in 192.168.1.0/24 (192.168.1.X), if not, the APs probably are natting.
Sorry, maybe I did not explain it well
I asked for the IPs of devices connected to the APs, not about the AP addresses, I did read the first note.
For example, if you connect a computer with wireless to one of these APs, which IP address do you get in the computer?
It is weird to me that you have a public IP in your client devices.
I think I will need more information
Please try to give us an export of the router and an export of any AP
To upload the complete config, you could do the following:
Thank you so much for your help. It’s not exactly clients. I just live in a building that has 7 apartments and 1 router so we installed 7 access points so each apartment has internet.

It seems you added the queues in the APs side, I allways add the queues in the router, I dont know this should work as IMHO your APs are like switches connecting together wired and wireless clients (When I say “client”, I mean workstations, mobile phones, tablets, etc)
The APs are not the default gateway of the clients
The problem is that your router probably does not know which client belong to which AP, as they are all together, I can not be sure because I did not see the router settings.
One option is to configure VLANs but maybe this will be difficult
Another way is to configure APs as routers itself and set the queues in the main router but also this is difficult to be done by someone new in this
Configure a VLAN for each AP, each one with different VLAN ID, each one in the interface where the AP is connected
Configure an IP for each VLAN
Configure a DHCP Server for each VLAN
In the APs:
If you have only wireless clients, you could just add the VLAN tag in the wireless settings
If you have wired and wireless clients, this will be more difficult.
After this, you could apply the queues in the router/firewall, for each VLAN as target
Other way, if you dont want to know hoy many clients has each AP, and if you dont need to have control over APs, you could configure each AP as Router, then you should apply the queues in the router for each AP IP address as target https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/First+Time+Configuration
