Bandwidth control help

[Prejudice]

Hello I'm trying to setup bandwidth control on my network to limit the amount of download usage a computer in my network can pull. However my network is a bit different to other networks. I have wirless internet so I have a dish on my roof that runs through POE to a Router which then distrubutes Via WIFI. The routers IP address is 192.168.0.250 and the dishes IP address is 192.168.0.1 The dish its self I have no access to. I have full control over my router which has DHCP Server, Static IP assignment, Static Routing, Bandiwidth and URL control capabilities. 

 

I'm using my phone as test. I've assigned a static ip (192.168.0.100) to my phone using its Mac address, i then navigate to bandwidth control and limit the speed to 128kb/ps (1mbps) I then save settings, reconnect my phone and run a speed test but its pulling the full bandwidth, I even try forbidding a domain but then the phone can still access it. I've tried restarting the router with these settings and it still doesn't work. 

 

Im thinking I need to set up static routing since there is technically 2 routers (The dish and actual router) but im not sure how to get this to work basically the traffic from my phone would be 192.168.0.100 (The phone) --> 192.168.0.250 (The router) --> 192.168.0.1 (The dish) --> The internet 

 

im not sure if I need access to the dishes config page or if I can just limit the bandwidth using the router as the gateway. Im also not sure if I need to enable the DHCP server on my router however I've done this in the past and it's caused IP conflicts. I could just set the ips as static but again not sure if this will work. 

 

i've attached 3 images, the static routing page of my router, the dhcp client list (where we set static ips ) and the dhcp server which im not sure if it needs to be on)

Generally this is done in QoS options. Not all routers support per device bandwidth management.

Mine does support it, I did enable and set it up in QOS but its just not working. 

 

i set it to limit IP 192.168.0.100 to IP 192.168.0.100 and set it to limit 128kb/ps download. But when I run a speed test on the device with that IP it pulls the full bandwidth instead of only 1mbps.

Just because the option exist also doesn’t mean the option works. Many consumers grade routers have the option but the software is piss poor at best. 

 

Have you tried restarting the router and devices on your network? Next I’d try a firmware update on the router. After that if it doesn’t work then I might start looking for third party firmware. But that can lead down the rabbit hole.

I wonder if QoS is actually done in NAT?  As both WAN and LAN in this case are the same network, its not having NAT applied at all - just plain routing.

You could try setting the second router as a different LAN subnet to the first so NAT applies and see if this allows QoS to function.
