How to Limit Bandwidth
This process describes the workflow of how to limit
bandwidth and test that it is working.
-
Create a role that limits bandwidth.
-
Create a network and assign it to the limited bandwidth role.
-
Create an Allow All role that does not limit the bandwidth.
-
Create a second network and assign the Allow All role to that second
network.
-
Assign both networks to a site.
-
Test the SSID on a mobile phone using an application that measures speed, such
as the Netflix FAST app. Make sure that you choose an application that your
network policy allows.
- Log in to the Allow All network.
- Open the application to
test the Wi-Fi speed. You should see the bandwidth speed is unlimited
(at the maximum speed to which your network service is contracted).
- Log in to the Limited Bandwidth network.
- Open the application to test the bandwidth speed. Your speed is limited
to the Mbps speed that you configured in your policy.
