mange bandwidth with hotspot

RouterOS Beginner Basics

hi :slight_smile:

I run hotspot in mikrotik and I use local users mikrotik for authentication , but i didn’t know how can i limit the bandwidth for each users

I think that we have 3 place for this

  1. in server profile

OR

  1. in User profile

And please say that, how can write our plane in there… I just know that “rx” mean upload and “tx” mean download

please guide me

thank you :smiley:

The server profile rate limited is shared between all users that are not yet logged in (but may access resources permitted in the walled garden section), as well as users with an IP binding of type ‘bypassed’.
The user profile rate limited is applied to each logged in user.

rx/tx is from the router’s point of view. Data uploaded from the user to the Internet is data received by the router on an interface, so it’s RX. Date downloaded by the client from the Internet is data sent by the router on an interface, so it’s TX. If you want a rate that allows 1Mbps download and 256Kbps upload, it would be 256k/1m.

thanks for your help

but I hear that for limit bandwidth I must use of QOS , this is right for limit bandwidth … but this solution hasn’t any problem with HOTSPOT

and is it work for each use that logged in

again thank you :slight_smile:

Simple queues are automatically created for each logged in user based on the user profile. That queue targets only the user’s IP address. The server profile generates another dynamic simple queue further down that targets an interface - logged in users have dynamic queues higher up, so they don’t fall through to the shared rate limit.

This works fine for up to 500 users. Don’t worry about it unless you have more.
