Wireless bandwidth limiting

Is there any way for mikrotik aps to allow and then bandwidth limit each connecting user based on mac from a radius serveR?

What are your clients ?
If clients are MikroTik RouterOS, than use ‘access-list’ and ‘AP TX’ and ‘Client TX’ limits.
If clients aren’t MikroTik routers, use mangle and queues.

not mt clients.

and i mean something automatic. like, client with mac x connects, so the mt ap checks in radius if client x is allowed, and what Rate-Limit is for that client and creates a simple queue. is this doable?

Yes

how?

I tried setting Rate-Limit same as it was in dhcp, but when the client connected, no simple queue was created?

Do you use fixed IPs for your clients? You could these through DHCP and use the DHCP Rate-Limit.

yes, i would like to use fixed ips as opposed to dhcp as i have had some problems with clients leases renewing with dhcp.

is dhcp the only way, or can i get it to work with wireless?
