Title: Bandwidth Limiting Per IP
Post by: Ryan F. on February 19, 2015, 06:46:43 PM
I recently got a 50mbps internet package from Cox. They gave me a D-Link DIR-615 E3 router and Arris Wireless box router. The problem I am having is with one of my household users. They stream Netflix which eats up 75% of my bandwidth -my speed test reads 16mbps for my computer.-  Is there any built in functions on my QoS or other things I can do to limit that persons bandwidth (maybe to netflix specifically)? Thank You!

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

You can set up QoS to help manage some bandwidth using the following as an example:
Gaming and QoS for XBL (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=42011.0)

However looking at the user manual for your DIR-615, it doesn't have any custom rule features seen in the sticky FAQ. It's either ON or OFF. You'll need to get a DIR series router that has the additional QoS features seen in the sticky then you can manage the bandwidth better.

I'd recommend getting into a DIR-636L, DIR-655, DIR-836L or DIR-868L. These are solid routers and have customizable QoS features.
The DIR-615 is an older generation router and isn't being developed on any more.
