Limiting Data Usage To A Client Device On Wifi Router?
Dec 13, 2012
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 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 have problems with my wifi router linksys wag200g.we have 2 pc in my home, and every time the other one connects to internet i lose almost 80-90% of speed connection.can i do something to limiting the speed of the other computer?
Not sure if I should be here or software but I'll start here. My question is I want to split my data plan with users on one pc, eg 3 users on windows 7 giving them 60gb each then shuts off when it is reached? I have tried looking online but seem to only find stuff about timelimits.
I recently switched over to a new cable modem/wireless router, which is the Zoom DOCSIS 3.0 (Model: 5350-00-03). Me and my brothers have set up a second router, a Netgear N300 (Model: WNR2000v2), on the other side of the house. After the switch, our data usage has been increasing. I just want to know if having two routers affect more data usage.
Have a problem coming my way with regards monitoring 3g data usage on an 887 router. The router will carry two links - x1 primary over the serial port and x1 secondary failover link utilizing 3g.
The 3g sim has an allowance of 1Gb per month (traffic has been baselined and this seems sufficient - not by me though).I have a requirement to monitor the 3g link and trigger an alert at say the 60% mark (600Mb). Whatever mechanism is used to count the data also has to reset to 0 at the beginning of every month as data stats will be included in monthly reports.
Second conundrum, I also have to somehow split out the data usage stats to show my customers usage as well as my own. My own being management traffic (mainly snmp and icmp) and present this in the monthly report.
#1 - Does the 887 have some form of 3g accounting capability either via gui or cli that can fulfil my requirements above?
#2 - With splitting the data usage stats, could this be achieved using netflow and if it was possible, could i only have my flows sent down the Primary link (obviously only when it is active) and if the box fails to 3g have netflow just count the data until the Primary kicks in again.If no built in features can give me what i want i my go down the eem scripting route burt this is a last resort.
Is there any way to monitor and plot graphs against the data usage for each local pool configured on Cisco 7609. I have a CISCO 7609 that is acting as RAS for PPPoE Customers and have mulitple local pools (/24) configured on it. What is requried is a graph that shows data usage of each pool separately ( I can plot usage against each IP but that is not requried here, I need data usage (MRTG) for each complete local pool).
The customer has an existing ISDN30 - 8 channels backup circuit what was originally terminated to a C2611XM Now they required to replace this old router with a new one.The old router build:
I bought a new Toshiba Satellite C660 laptop with Windows 7 on Sept 1st, and had no problems at first with the mobile broadband. However, on Monday 13th I noticed massive spikes in the data usage. After browsing the internet for around an hour I decided to check my usage randomly, and it was at 350mb!Since then, there's times when I don't even have my browser open and in the space of 5 minutes it will reach 150mb of usage. There's also times when it works absolutely perfectly for hours on end (including today, where it was working fine up until around an hour ago!) I phoned the mobile broadband company twice last week, the first time the person told me that it was a computer issue and to go to an IT repair place.
So after sending him screencaps of Windows task manager processes/applications/network he can't see anything that could be doing it. He advised me to do a full antivirus scan, and full malwarebytes and ad aware scans and they've all come up clean.The second time I phoned the broadband company, they told me that there were some wrong settings, and that they've been changed now but if I have any more problems to ring customer care again.So after seeing an offer with a different mobile broadband provider, I decided to buy a new broadband stick and change networks in hoping that would solve the problem.... it didn't.
So there's definitely something about the new laptop that's causing the data usage to spike I don't use any torrent programs, and haven't been watching youtube videos constantly or trying to stream online, like I said there's been times where I don't even have Google Chrome open and it's using up all my data! I don't use Skype or anything like that either (to be honest I have barely any programs on this new laptop)I've turned off all the automatic updates for as many programs as I think can have them. Ii's definitely improved a bit though, but there are still times (like around an hour ago) that the data usage starts spiking randomly.
Region : UnitedKingdom Model : TD-W8951ND Hardware Version : V5 Firmware Version : 22.05.2012 ISP :
I have a TD-W8951ND v5 on the latest firmware.
I recently broke my broadband data cap which surprised me as I had not been using the internet much.
I only have tablet which I switched off having first checked the router to make sure there were no other wireless connections and adding MAC address filtering to be sure no one else was stealing my bandwidth. With just my router connected to the ISP, my ISP has recorded 170MB of downloaded data in 3.5 hours. Switching off the router stops the traffic being recorded (as you would expect), but when switched back on the large data transfers start up again.
I have plugged in an older router (not wireless) and no traffic is generated, so it seems to be the TP-Link router rather than my ISP or ADSL circuit that is at fault.
Is it possible to use this feature on WLC 2504 ? ( Passive client feature). I found just this note :" The passive client feature is supported on Cisco 5500 and Cisco 2100 Series Controllers. "
I have had an e4200 for about a month now and its been pretty good. But I have noticed that it completely locks up when I go to copy mass amounts of data through it. I have a NAS drive plugged into it and my laptop is on the 2.4 spectrum. I went to transfer 8gigs of data from laptop to NAS drive and the entire wireless portion of the router locks up. All my wireless clients drop and I have to unplug the router and plug it back in. Even the 5ghz clients drop as well. I have not tried hardwire, but the main reason I got this was for its throughput.
I upgraded to firmware version 1.0.03 I started to have this weird issue: I have four PCs connected to this wireless router via wireless G. They all run Windows 7 Home Premium. After a few hours I started to notice that the DHCP client table is empty even if all four PCs are connected to the internet. This causes a networking problem because one of the PC serves as a file server and it grants access by IP addresses. Not being able to "see" those computers, my access is denied.
How does a device attached to a Cisco IP Phone send data to the switch?a. As tagged (using the voice VLAN)b. As untaggedc. As tagged (using the data VLAN)d. As tagged (using the CoS value)The correct question is A in the book though it said that tagging is switch process PC's doesn't tag frames.
Any tcp client software other than telnet and can read data in other formats than ASCII ? the problem i am facing with telnet is that it only reads ASCII format.
When I try to FTP into my server at home, which is running Filezilla server, and I try to connect via my Filezilla client, it gives me:"425 Can't open data connection.". I see this error on the client side and on the server side and on the client side, its not listing the directory.However, when I go and connect via SmartFTP, I sat on Google for about half an hour trying to find this problem out, went through the wiki, I know it isn't my router (I'm running pfSense). My NAT configs and firewall exceptions and port forwarding are all configured correctly. This just seems like a problem with Filezilla itself. The Filezilla Client can't connect to the Filezilla server but yet SmartFTP, as well as a friend of mine using FTPX can connect just fine.I can remote in via VNC, VPN in and contact my proxy server just fine from the outside.
I would like to be able to allow a specific client to only associate at 6mbit/s -is this possible using the wlc controller 5508? Another option would be to limit a whole w lan ssid to 6mbit/s but i can't find a way to do that either.
Other w lan ssid's on the same access points/controller need full data rates, so i guess i can't use the RF-profiling for this.
I just purchased a Linksys EA 4500.I set up the wifi properly, with laptops, tablets, smartphones and printer. The wifi network worked fine for a couple of days.But now one of the laptop "refuses" to see the Linksys wifi network. The other devices are still connected and running regularly.
The notebook that does not connect anymore is an ACER 5740DG with an Atheros Network adapter and Windows 7 installed. This notebook is otherwise running fine.At the beginning it was connecting ok and we never had any problem at all with the previous router Belkin_N+_7991AC, that I changed just for speed.
Now the Linksys network is simply not visible to such notebook in the "Available Connections List" that I get clicking on the WiFi icon in the bottom right, while a number of other wifi networks (not mine) are clearly visible. Of course I restarted the notebook properly. For one time I got the visibility of the Linksys, I entered the password and then it was not possible to see the network anymore.No error message from Smart WiFi software.
however recently when i check my internet usage log on my wireless company (Rogers) the usage is totally off from what my bandwidth tracker shows me. So i decide to turn off my wifi and see what happens, there has always been this weird wifi connection appearing whenever my wifi appears, then afterwards when i turn off my wifi the suspicious wifi connections disappear. is this possible that someone is using our wifi? i might just be overreacting but it has brought me to concern that if the usage continues my family will have to end up paying over $30 for extra internet use. it is very frustrating me because when i check my DHCP client table it only shows 3 connection, ethernet - my desktop which is not turned on, 2 wireless connection - my laptop and my sister's laptop.
The smart wi-fi app Device List indicates Local Network = 0 (that's incorrect) and Guest Network = 0 (that's correct). When i click Connected Devices for My Network, i see a list of devices but everything indicates 'Offline' and that of course is incorrect.How can i upgrade this software? I recently installed EA6500 and due to being slow, it was recommended to set back to factory default. That process did no go well, so i hope it is not necessary again. This router is not any better then the wrt320N so i am disappointed.
In the next month or so I plan to replace my old desktop PC. It is currently connected to a Linsys E3200 wireless router. I have many other wireless devices also running off the E3200, but my PC is the only wired device connected to it. When I replace the wired PC do I simply switch the new one in with the existing ethernet connection (I'm sure it is not that simple) or do I have to start over again recreating my entire network..security etc.. ? If so what is the process to start over ? Do I have to reset something on the router, reload cisco connect, create a new network name?
I am using a EA4500 and use Linksys Smart Wi-Fi to manage the device. In the household we have multiple Apple i devices. Somehow the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi combined two separte i devices (iPhone 5 and a 4th generation iTouch) to one user.The devices actually have different names, but the Smart Wi-Fi is combining them into one device. So I can't use Parental Controls on one of the devices.
I recently upgraded my Wi-Fi router to an EA3500 and am controlling it using Smart Wi-Fi running on a wired Windows 7 machine.So far, I have been able to add devices to the network without issue and each of those connections works fine. All, except my TV, have been Windows 7 based machines. Smart Wi-Fi Device List has been able to "see" each device and I have been able to add them to that list as well.
I am attempting to add a Windows 8 desktop computer to the network which is using a external USB wireless adapter. That computer can see and connect to the network through the EA3500 and the connection seems to work fine. The only issue is that its adapter does not show up in the Device List.
1) Does the Device List do anything else besides showing a list of devices I chosen to add to my network?
2) How do I get my Windows 8 wireless adapter to show up in the Device List?
I would like to conect a USB device to a computer using WiFi instead of the USB cable the device has. The thing is that I'm not sure about the drivers. Is there any USB Wireless device that transmits the USB data "raw" and the receiver plugged to the computer gets the data with the driver of the remote device in the own PC?
I have an Airport Express and two wireless routers. The Airport Express is connected to Router 1 via Ethernet. Router 2 is connected to Router 1 via Ethernet. Since I like to know which Wireless Router I'm connected to, Router 1 & 2 use different SSIDs. Router 1 is the DHCP server (DHCP turned off on Router 2). All security settings are turned OFF.Router 1 is a Linksys WRT120N with latest firmware and Router 2 is a Belkin Wireless Router.I can connect via wireless to Router 1 and Router 2 via the seperate SSIDs and have Internet connectivity (Router 1 is connected the the Internet) and print to a wireless printer connecter to the Router 1 wireless network.
Now here is the strange thing. I can see the Airport Express only if I connect to the Router 2 wireless network!!! I cannot see it if I connect to the Router 1 wireless network, yet the Airport Express is connected via Ethernet to ROUTER 1 !So for some reason, the LinkSys WRT120N Wireless Router won't route the Airport Express to a wireless client on it's own wireless network, but it will route it to an Ethernet client which is what any client connected to Router 2 wirelesslessly is seen as. When connected to router 1 wirelessly I can ping the IP of the Airport but something is preventing it from working with iTunes/iPhone/Airport Utility. It is bizarre because these are all devices connected to the same LAN. SInce I can ping it, it tells me that it isn't a routing issue, but there must be some sort of filter between the wireless and ethernet that is preventing the Airport protocol from being transmitted.
It works sometimes. I imagine it has a noise problem since sharing files works, internet works. I cannot remember how to change channels on this router to save my life, though. What is special about sharing a printer?
I'm trying to configure my Linksys E2000 to be an ethernet attached wireless device to use on computers instead of dongles, etc. I don't want it to route, just act like a Wireless card.
