In some situations, it is necessary to limit the Wi-Fi channel speed for certain devices. Sometimes this requires configuring not only the device that sends out the Wi-Fi signal, but also the equipment that receives it.
It is necessary
NetLimiter
Instructions
Step 1
If you are using a router or router to create a wireless access point, open its settings menu. To do this, enter the IP address of this equipment into the browser line and press the Enter key. Open the wireless setup menu. If the capabilities of this router model allow you to enable the operation of the 802.11 network (without letters), then the channel speed will automatically be limited to 1 Mbps. Note that this value will be divided by the number of devices connected to the Wi-Fi network.
Step 2
If the Wi-Fi router does not work with this type of radio signal, then find the item "Connection Speed" or Connection Speed. Set the desired value from 1 to 54. Save the settings and reboot the router.
Step 3
If you use a stationary computer and a Wi-Fi adapter to create a wireless access point, then first try to lower the channel speed using the functions of the Windows system. Open the properties for My Computer and go to Device Manager. Find your wireless adapter and right-click on its name. Select Properties. Open the "Advanced" tab and enable the 802.11 operating mode.
Step 4
If this Wi-Fi adapter does not support this type of radio signal, then install the NetLimiter software and run it. Now find the device you need in the displayed list and set the parameters of the Internet access speed for it. Be sure to fill in both items: Incoming and Outgoing. The speed values in this utility are specified in kilobytes.
Step 5
As an alternative to NetLiniter, you can use the TMeter and Traffic Inspector utilities. Be sure to save the created filters to avoid having to re-configure the utility after restarting your computer.
