I am nice to my neighbors, I run a Virtual AP called FREE INTERNET.
I wanted to control the throughput of this ap.
I create in winbox a simple queue to throttle the Interface called FREE INTERNET, by picking the interface on the pull down, I then specify Target upload to 128kbps, and target download to 2Mbps.
I change the type to default for both.
Think it should work right? remember, no IP specified in the queue rule.
It doesn't work, I get 25 Mbit down and 1 Mbit up, max of my connection.
I fool around with it and try different things, nothing slowed it down. i revert back to my original as described above set up. still no work.
I then simply Disable the queue and then re-enable it, no reboots on the 493. the queue works for Target upload at 128kbps. But download is still full speed.
As to why this even made a difference from disable to enable, I would like to know.
There is also a bug with double clicking on a virtual access point, it crashes winbox with a runtime error, this has been reported by others as well.
