How to Limit Bandwidth

This process describes the workflow of how to limit bandwidth and test that it is working.

  1. Create a role that limits bandwidth.
  2. Create a network and assign it to the limited bandwidth role.
  3. Create an Allow All role that does not limit the bandwidth.
  4. Create a second network and assign the Allow All role to that second network.
  5. Assign both networks to a site.
  6. 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.
    1. Log in to the Allow All network.
    2. 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).
    3. Log in to the Limited Bandwidth network.
    4. Open the application to test the bandwidth speed. Your speed is limited to the Mbps speed that you configured in your policy.
