Title: throttle upload speed of a specifc ip address
Post by: djslikrick on October 26, 2012, 02:57:53 PM

it is possible to limit upload speed by a specific IP address within the router. itunes match is hogging my bandwidth and i want to throttle it.

I would use QoS to help manage iTunes and the PC its operating on. Set a priority to a low setting like 200 or 255. There is no bandwidth throttling options specifically on DIR series routers.

You can review this: Gaming and QoS for XBL (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=42011.0)

Works for me.

Good luck.
