hello guys , i wish i can explain this well ,
i have a Wi-Fi access point , and i am connected to the modem with ethernet , i wanted to have my friend's internet so i made him connect to the AP and set my default gateway the ip address of my friend ( who is connected to the AP ) , the thing now , i connected an ethernet cable to my RB2011 routerboard , ( like a router on a trunk ) and i used the ip address of the router as a default gateway ,
like this i suppose the packet will go to the router and get routed to the IP address which has internet ( instead of going directly through the " switch with the AP " ) , but i couldn't limit the download speed , what as i see as a problem is that the upload goes through the routerboard , but the packets coming from the internet ( as they have an IP inside the network ) they go directly ( without passing by the routerboard ) to the NIC , do you think that this can be solved , and how can i do so ? please tell me if you find this a stupid thing and you can see some thing that i dont understand , ( by the way the AP is on the roof and i cant take the routerboard to the roof thats why i am doing this ) . thank you all
