Limiting Bandwidth on Wireless Connection?

[jly7870]

Happy Holidays Guys! 

Is it possible to limit the bandwidth on 1 of the 2 wireless connections I have? I am finally upgrading my internet from 5/.5 to 60/10 (I'm super excited lol). Since my parents are not gonna pay and I gotta pay. Is there a way to limited the bandwidth to like 5/1 for them? they only watch youtube videos so it seems like enough for them.

 

my router is an Asus RT-AC66U and I have 2 connections 1 is 2.4ghz and the other is 5ghz. I want to limit the 5ghz connection.

 

Thanks guys!!

Honestly I'd recommend disabling the 5Ghz connection, it will cause more latency throughout your house. Only use the 2.4Ghz connection and I'd suggest using wired for your PC but if not it doesn't matter. The router will work too hard to get a 5Ghz frequency throughout your house and it will be laggier than the 2.4Ghz connection.

 

I did this with my router because I noticed that the 5Ghz speeds were unnecessary and slow.

from what I heard 5ghz is only good on wireless devices that are not moving and stay in one place. I could be wrong though

It's possible, but I'd recommend just disabling it. It could be where I live though and devices interfering with it. I'd say give it a shot and if it's bad just disable it.

You could disable 802.11n and ony use g.

That gives you 54mbps.
