Hotspot rx/tx rate limit does not work

Tue Aug 15, 2017 5:30 pm

Hello, have just configured Hotpost with the trial internet. And spend around 4 hours to set the upload and download limit for trial users to 512k
All my attempts are unsuccessful.

Have tried to create a User Profile with Rate Limit:512k/512k
Have added same limit at the Hotspot server profiles ....
All i get is an upload speed reduces to 512k but not the download ... looks like the setting for limitation of Download speed is ignored..

Any help is highly appreciated!

Same issue - this is a bug in the Mikrotik software.

I have the same issue, but resolved it. I am using RB951Ui-2HnD. Running on latest 3.41 firmware and 6.40.5 RouterOS.

Reset the configuration, use winbox to log in. At the first startup screen. Remove configuration.
Manually configure all the interfaces ( DHCP, LAN, WAN, etc), create bridge for LAN and WIFI manually, NAT, and then setup the hotspot.

Still having this issue.

Anyone else solved it? Or knows how to solve it?
Running RouterOS 7.2 here.

Hello,

For my case, the bandwidth limit in hotspot didn't work because of fasttrack as mentioned here and there:
If you are using the default configuration, be sure the FastTrack rule is disabled for this particular traffic, otherwise, it will bypass Simple Queues and they will not work.

To verify this is the cause, I
  1. show the rate column in Firewall Filter Rules and sort by it descending
  2. perform high bandwidth operations and check which rule match the bandwidth usage for verification
  3. disable/remove Filter Rule with fasttrack connection action
  4. reboot to remove the fasttrack dummy rules. maybe this step is optional.
