Limiting Data Download On Kid's Computer Each Day
Jan 2, 2011
I need to limit the amount of data my child can download each day and can't find a simple program to do this. I have a Verizon MiFi access point in my house with a 10GB monthly cap. I need a program that I can install on a single computer that will allow say, 100MB per day data transfer, then not allow any more internet access on that computer till the next day. I'm OK with computers, but not a guru so simplicity of setup & use is important.Most programs I've seen are geared for complex network monitoring by IT pros, and the ones geared for monitoring kids mainly restrict access by time spent online, whereas I need to cap usage by the amount used each day. Computer is an Acer laptop and an eMachines desktop, both using wireless access and both running Windows 7.

I own a wireless router (ZTE W300) and due to the large number of devices in my house, and limited broadband usage, can I limit downloads/uploads (in other words, limit data usage) to a particular device over the network?I think the stock firmware on my router doesnt allow that (and its pretty base level too). If so, do you recommend any other firmware that can do the task, and is compatible with my router?

I am sutdying at uni and in a few months, I will be moving into a house, with my current flatmates. We will be buying a fibre optic line.Ideally,what I want to do, is split the connections evenly,depending on how many people are online current, rather than having mass downloads of everyone at the same time, when other will only get a small speed while browsing or gaming,or streaming,etc.So, basically, what I want to do is split the connection at anyone time evenly,so if there are 5 people connected and our connection speed is 50MB then each will get 10MB. And if 2 people are connected, then the speed will be 25MB each, and so on.
I am wondering what is the cheapest way of doing this? I am very computer illerate,I know how to use unix systems.I even own my own server, but I'm not so clued up in this area of networking.I believe it's something to do with a switch, and which switches support this? (I've heard it's something to do with full-duplex / half duplex).
- I will probably set up a domain system, where everyone has to login to the main server to access the internet. (I know vaguely how to do that) - is there some software that I can put on the server which will distribute connection speeds automatically.

Is it possable to limit the download/upload speeds of a wireless computer on this router, the reason is i am at home working on files from my office computer and my son gets home, and starts downloading massive amounts of music an other ****, and i get disconnected to the office computer, and have to start from scratch again. I just want to limit his speed to maybe 25% of the max internet connection.

I am experiencing strange problem about slowing down the internet speed after downloading is stopped in between. I then have reboot the desktop to regain the speed.
My networking as below:
DSL Modem
Dlink DIR-655 Router
Desktop A (Wired Network)
Desktop B (Wired Network)
Laptop (Wireless Network)
If I am downloading a file (1gb) on Desktop A and for some reason I have to stop it, then internet connection is desktop A , desktop B and laptop is almost killed. To get the speed back, I need to reboot Desktop A. All computers are on Windows 7.
If completely download the file, the internet speed is good on all the computers. Before downloading the speed is: After stopping the download the speed is :

My setup is as follows:
Linksys E2500 as DHCP client, all default network settings (MTU auto configured to 1500), connected to:
ZTE 831 II ADSL2+ modem in bridged mode
The issue is that whenever any large file is downloaded over HTTP, the download stops after about 4 minutes and never resumes. This results in:
1) HTTP downloads of anything > ~80 MB failing; tried using several browsers and CURL, all with the same results
2) iOS downloads in iTunes timing out
3) YouTube videos stalling every few minutes
Interestingly, Netflix streaming works OK. Perhaps that's because the protocol for Netflix is not a single large download but a bunch of smaller ones, but that's conjecture.
This all occurs over both wireless and wired connections to the E2500.
If I connect my Mac directly to the ZTE modem, I don't have the problem.

I am unable to get a wireless Internet connecting after a system recovery on an old laptop. It has been suggested that I download SP3 since I lost it in the recovery.
Everything I see on the Microsoft site has instructions to download it ON the computer operating XP. I can't just find the file. I need to download it on a laptop operating Win 7 then transfer it to the XP computer.

I've been meaning to ask this for some time. I have several wired pc's and several wireless pc's on my home LAN. I tend to use one of my wireless notebooks the most. I choose to keep a relatively small HDD in it, so I don't use it for storage. I have SHARED folders on my wired PC's that I use for storage. So when I download a file using my laptop, I save it to one of my wired PC's shared folders. The problem is it is really downloading to my laptop first and THEN simply moving the file to the shared folder. It is using the resources twice. I would like the laptop to initiate the download to a networked shared folder and that download be independent of the laptop from that point, so if I were to even shut the laptop off, the download would still continue to the networked shared folder.

Do larger computer screens use more data? Or is it just a matter of screen resolution?
Is there a difference between large, small, laptops, and tablets in bandwidth consumption if all the screens were set to a resolution of 1024 x768?

When connected to my router on my main desktop, I get download speeds of about .3-.85 mbps, I have comcast and a linksys N router, as well as a N wireless adapter in my desktop. If I use my laptop, I get around 10 mbps download speed, (Speeds are as of [URL]) but they still remain at .3 mbps on my desktop. I have tried two different wireless adapters in my computer. One is the Linksys AE2500 Dual Band N adapter, and the other is an ASUS N13 N Adapter. I have gotten the latest drivers of both adapters, but speeds stayed very low. When I connected the computer via ethernet cable, it ran at 16mbps. So I think that something must be wrong with some wireless settings, since I've tried 2 different adapters and was getting the same result, unless both were faulty I suppose. I also don't think it's my router's issue, because the wireless is working great on other wireless devices. I am using windows 7 on the desktop.

I had recently upgraded my computer, which currently looks like this:
CPU: i5 3570
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H-MVP
RAM: G.Skill 16GB DDR3 1600MHz
HDD: Seagate ST1000DM003 1TB Barracuda + Seagate 320GB Barracuda
GFX: Sapphire HD4850 512MB Dual Slot Fan
PSU: OCZ StealthXtream 500W
(The bits in bold were the upgraded parts, up from an AMD Athlon64X2 6000+)
For some really strange reason, my web browsing has been ridiculously slow, with the words "Waiting for [website]" always showing up in the bottom corner of Chrome for a good 10-20 seconds before the website loads. This happens to every website I visit, bar Facebook (secret Facebook virus?). It's especially bad on shopping websites such as eBay, taking upwards of a minute to load pages. I have tried Internet Explorer and the same thing is happening.
My downloads, on the other hand, have been unaffected by the upgrade, with download speeds averaging 800KB/s.
If it matters, my current modem/router is a D-LINK DSL-G604T; my other devices work perfectly fine on this modem, with browsing speeds being faster on my 2G iPod Touch than my desktop computer.
I currently use Avira Internet Security 2012 as my anti-virus.
I also use these extensions in Chrome (if it matters):
4chan Plus 2.5.5
Adblock Plus (Beta) 1.2
LastModified 1.1.2
Neater Bookmarks 0.9.4
PhotoZoom for Facebook 1.1208.30.1
Session Buddy 3.0.16
Xmarks Bookmark Sync 1.0.22
Youtube Ratings preview 2.0
I have tried disabling all add-ons and the speed is still the same
In the middle of writing this, I decided to download Firefox, which has improved on my browsing speed somewhat, but still has hiccups here and there (Facebook takes forever to load in Firefox). But having been a Chrome user for a long time, I would like to stick with it.

I get on-line, and the internet all-of-a sudden starts to show that I've downloaded my limit of 250MB. Now, I am on Hughesnet for internet service, can not get on DSL, wont happen already asked. Now, I am running a router, only way my wife and son can access the internet. They have laptops windows 7 and build-in Wireless Cards. I have a desktop windows 7. My updates are scheduled in the morning hours about 5AM so their is no reason for the computer to update. Same goes for my wife and son, their are set for early morning hours as well. I get an error message as soon as I click on my webpage that I want to browse, Internet Can Not Display The Webpage or something to that effect.

I live in rural Alaska and use satellite internet with 1.5mbps rate and 4gb rolling weekly download limit. I was wondering if there are any wireless routers I can buy that I can set a bandwidth limit for the specific router. Due to teenage girls in the house we hit the weekly limit in a day or two because of all the music videos and such that they watch on you tube, it is annoying getting limited to the 256kbps download rate so often.

I am a gamer living in my apartment with a room mate who loves to download music 24/7 and a girlfriend who loves to watch netflix. Needless to say, every time I go to play a video game I get shitty ping and lots of lag. From what I've gathered, DD-WRT's QOS is ****, and Tomato is the way to go in 3rd party firmware.

I have a 3825 with a 16 port etherswitch card installed that I'm trying to setup rate-limits on. Interface G0/0 is the connection to the outside world and int g0/1 has a couple of 2950 switches attached to it.
The etherswitch card, f1/0, f1,1 etc has corresponding vlans, 902, 903 etc each with an IP 10.110.1.x, 10.110.2.x and all part of access-group 111. The switches connect on sub-interfaces g0/1.101, g0/1.102 etc and have IP's 10.55.1.x, 10.55.2.x and part of access-group 101.
What i'm trying to achieve is that every port / IP that is on access-group 111 shares 3Mb of bandwidth in/out and access-group 101 shares a separate 3Mb of bandwidth in/out.
I've created two access-lists as follows;
access-list 101 permit ip 10.55.0.0 0.0.255.255 any
access-list 111 permit ip 10.110.0.0 0.0.255.255 any
And on int g0/0 I've created the following rate-limits;
rate-limit input access-group 101 3072000 64000 64000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
rate-limit input access-group 111 3072000 64000 64000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
rate-limit output access-group 101 3072000 64000 64000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
rate-limit output access-group 111 3072000 64000 64000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
Now instead of both access-groups having 3Mb each they all seem to be sharing 3Mb! I've tried class-maps and policy-maps but to no avail..

I've had a DIR-600 for years, and this past month it has been really bad. I have a 3mbps Cable connection, always worked fine and fast, but since the start of the month I've been getting, at most, 60kb/s of download speed (I have a wired connection to the router). Speed tests register everything as fine, except for the download speed, which is really unstable and shoots all over the place, going from 1MB/s to 0 in some instances. I thought it was the ISP being bad since we're having a lot of problems with this provider where I work, but got tired of it and decided to do some troubleshooting myself. When I connect directly to the modem, without the router, I get the same fast speeds I used to. I tried rebooting everything, I tried resetting the router to factory defaults, but nothing seemed to change that. DL speed is always below 60KB/s and if something is downloading at that speed, a single page takes a minute to load.

Without using another box as a router preferably. My Cisco Linksys router doesn't have any options for this but I heard you could possibly install some 3rd party firmware to get around that. This would be a last resort for me What I'm hoping for his some piece of software that could do this

I am looking for information on how to properly configure rate limits on a Cisco 2821 so that I can set different Service levels by IP address. For example I want to limit a block of IPs to 1 Mbps Down and 512 kbps Up. I am doing point to point networks from our router (ISR 2821) to another router that is assigned a static IP. The other router connects to our router through a Fast Ethernet port on a NM 16 port switch card. The routing end point for the network is on a VLAN interface. Currently we are using bonded T1's but are about to turn up a Metro-E circuit.

Is there a way to limit number of concurrent SSH connections that Prime LMS 4.2 makes to devices? Periodically it occupies all of VTY lines. I know I can restrict access to particular VTY lines by 'access-class' command, but I'd rather want to limit number of simultaneous connections on Prime LMS. Is it possible?

Network settings. What I want to do is limit the rate that people can download files from my webserver remotely. LAN connections should still be able to transfer at full speed, but anything outside of the local network should be limited to 200Kbps per connection. Is that even possible? Can I limit the number of connections per client (probably by IP)?
If this can't be done at the OS level, is there any way I could script it using PHP? Maybe read X bytes into a file and then sleep...

I run a business and have customers who would like to use my wireless internet. I previously had a completely open network that I would allow them to use, until someone illegally downloaded a movie and got us in trouble. I would like to allow use of the network again, but limit activities like this. Basically, so they could only do basic web browsing, etc.

Is it possible to set up an RV110W to limit access to only specified websites according to a schedule? I can block access to specific sites using the Internet Access Policy settings under Firewall, but I can't figure out a successful way to block access to all sites except those specified. I also tried establishing access rules but that did not work either.

We have two Cisco 2811 Routers setup with a GRE tunnel that we would like to constrain the bandwidth on to replicate a satellite connectinon of 400 kbits. We tried the bandwidth command 400, but from what I understand that is only for routing metrics and not actual speed of the interface.

I have a SG 300-20 small business switch and I would like to restrict bandwidth by gateway ip address but not by physical port or LAG. On the web interface, I can only do bw limiting per port or lag. I want to do bandwidth limiting by the IP addresses that I assign to vlans that my hosts use as a gateway ip.

I have a Cisco ASA5510 with two Cisco Catalyst 3560G switches plugged into it. Then I have 2 Cisco1400 Aironet WAPs plugged into the switches.
My goal is to limit incoming bandwith for two specific vlans. So users who are plugged into the switch or connected to the wifi can't go bandwidth crazy.
The rule I currently have setup on the ASA5510 is limiting internal bandwidth, I know shame on me.
So how do I setup a rule on the ASA5510 that will limit users external traffic on vlans without limit internal lan traffic?

I have an RV220W which I would like to set bandwidth limiting on. When we upload files to yousendit or an FTP server, it saturates the connection and essentially stops any other traffic until the upload is finished. Looking at the manual, it looks like it should do this, but does not seem clear to me.

So my ISP (Telus) recently replaced our old router with a ZyXEL VSG1432. I'm currently having a huge lag issue when my roommates laptop is connected to our network. He is connected via wireless, I'm wired. So I did some searching around and I think i can solve this by limiting his bandwidth with QoS settings. I'm getting conflicting information here though. After logging into the router there are no QoS options yet according to ZyXEL's website url...This router should have the settings available. Is it possible that Telus does something to remove this feature? Is there some not so obvious way to enable QoS? Is there some other way to limit the bandwidth?

I currently use Verizon FiOS 20/5. The speed has been great until the day my cousin and his parents moved in. They also use our FiOS connection and I have came to the conclusion that my cousin's laptop is eating away all of the bandwidth which makes all devices using FiOS have extremely slow internet speeds. I know it is his computer because I logged in as admin to the Verizon FiOS page (192.168.1.1) and I saw that he is using several P2P applications and downloading torrents as well. Is there a way I can limit the bandwidth he is using so that the internet speed can improve? I looked at the QoS tab and tried to play around with the settings, but I don't want to mess it up. The router I have is Actiontec M1424-WR (Verizon FiOS 20 Down/5 Up). A lot of sources I am reading says that I have to use the QoS, but I don't know how to use it on the site.
