Guest Zone bandwidth limitation
« on: April 08, 2010, 09:49:50 AM »

Hi!
I have a DIR-825 and I consider it good neighbourliness to offer an unprotected wi-fi for unconnected neighbors and travelers passing through and looking for some connectivity.
It seems that the guest zone was designed with exactly this goal in mind.
However, I can not find any settings that would prevent the guest zone from eating all my available bandwidth. I could easily restrict access by activating WPA or tuning down transmit power but that does not achieve what I have in mind.
Does the guest zone automatically have a lower traffic priority than non-guest WLAN/LANs, or is there a way to set up/down bandwidth limits on the guest zone (or any WLAN for that matter), or are there plans to add this feature in upcoming firmware updates?
