Allocation of Internet Speed at home

[african888]

good evening!

i plan to allocate internet speed at home to 4 users like the one below:
User 1 = 10mbps
User 2 = 5 mbps
User 3 = 5 mbps
User 4 = 5 mbps

(1) Is this possible?
(2) Can this be done using the telco modem/router (globe/pldt)
(3) do i need to purchase an entry level third party wifi router? (what features do i need to look for?)
(4) how to do it?

thanks

hmmm, paano kung wala si user 1? 5mbps pa din sila 2, 3 & 4?

not sure about the set-up of free routers provided by local telcos.

pero I can see 2 easy solutions.

1. get a dual band router na hindi auto yung switching, so 1 router pero you'll see 2 networks. 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz, user 1 uses the faster 5 GHz (2.4 Ghz lang yung iba) - eto gamit ng friend ko... so password lang ng 2.4 Ghz ang binibigay nya sa guests.

2. I use a Google router... the router automatically switches between 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz, pero I can assign a priority device if required (so if I'm watching 4K netflix, I just set my TV as a priority device for 3 hours.

thank you Ice for your inputs.

i would like to get a 20mbps na plan. tapos kung pwede bigyan ko sila each ng username and password with 5mbps speed. parang as if nag subscribe ako sa telco ng 4 na 5mbps na plan. tapos kanya kanya na sila manage ng network nila. kung mdyo mabagal network dapat mag bawas sila ng logged on device.

I have a Globe plan installed at our house. Ganito ang setup na ginawa ko.

Since home use lang naman, kinuha ko lahat ng MAC address ng lahat ng kokonek sa internet. BTW, GAN4PT pala yung model nung router na bigay ni Globe.

After getting the list, nagset ako ng specific IP addresses para sa bawat MAC address, in order of highest priority ang lowest IP address. Then may bandwidth allocation page dun sa setup ng router. Pwede mo i-specify kung hanggang anong speed lang kayang gamitin ni IP address. Eto yung setup per MAC address.

8 ang users sa bahay.
1 laptop for wife (for ESL) - 192.168.254.100
1 laptop for me (WFH) - 101
5 android phones - 102-106
1 iPad - 107


Si 100 at 101, nakasetup sya na walang limit.
Si 102 - 199, nakaset lang na hanggang 1mbps lang. Si 102 - 199 ay maghahati sa 1mbps allocation.

Depende kung naglalag minsan ang pagtuturo ni misis sa ESL nya, binababaan pa yung allocation ni 102-199. So far, gumagana naman ang ganitong setup sa amin.

depende yan sa router na mabibigay sayo, katulad ng kay Yubby24 may setting for the allocation of bandwidth, just explore around your router's settings, pag wala download ka ng network bandwidth control app, hth

thanks for your inputs. looks like pareho tayo ng purpose for limiting internet speed. plan ko din kasi mag esl kaya dapat me priority sa speed

Better if you could ask the ISP kung anong router ang ibibigay nila para masearch mo rin yung model at yung features nya. Naging bonus na lang din sakin yun na may ganung feature pala yung binigay ni globe.

thank you for this.

so incase wala ganon feature yong router, me app pala that can do this. do you have any suggestions for the bandwidth control app??

I used to have pfSense as well, ran it for several years. But after a while, I find that it’s quite limited and oftentimes very difficult to manage. pfSense is a great firewall, but if you need content filtering and all the other bells and whistles of a UTM, you will have to look elsewhere.

So, since about 3 years ago, I’ve switched to Untangle HomePro at home. It is subscription based at $50 per year but it serves my purpose, and more. I don’t allocate bandwidth on a per user or per VLAN/network range, but since Untangle can classify traffic in terms of protocols and applications, I do QoS instead to make sure that the available bandwidth is not monopolized by a single user, protocol or app. It also blocks most ad sites at the network level, among others.

QoS.
If not available on the user interface. Then you need to find out the admin account of the device. Chances are, it is there.

Tenda AC6, AC7, and AC10 has bandwidth allocation. Sells at 1.5k or less.

Kailangan ka yata bumili ng bagong router since basic lang provider na router ng mga telco.

yung bagong modem nang globe pwede nang gawin yan.

The GAN4PT modem that came with our Globe 1699 plan can do this. Eto ang setup ko which is primarily used for my wife's ESL teaching and my home-based work.

To answer your questions:

(1) Is this possible? Yes

(2) Can this be done using the telco modem/router (globe/pldt) Yes.

(3) do i need to purchase an entry level third party wifi router? (what features do i need to look for?) No.

(4) how to do it? Globe's modem can do this thru bandwidth control. You need to manually assign each device's MAC address their respectiveIP address. Then there is a bandwidth control page that let's you define the bandwidth allocation per IP address. In our case, what I did was to assign my wife's phone and laptop as well as my phone and laptop to IP addresses 192.168.254.101 - 104, respectively. Then, in the bandwidth control page, I set these 4 IP addresses to utilize the full speed of the internet (no speed limit). While the IP addresses starting from 105 upwards can only utilize up to 1mpbs.

nice thread....it gives me an idea..hmmm How about is there a way where I could put a timer on the user TOU time of use? i.e. User 1 unli, user 2,3,4 upto 1000PM only during weekdays and 12Midnight during Weekends. Am having headache to control my teeners in their social media time.
