Hey All Good Morning.

I'm a new user guys. Need some help. Hope it could be fixed here.

I'm using 8 Mb/s internet speed it has been shared with 4 guys including me.

Want to distribute the speed for each ip or to allocate the speed limit to every one. I can understand some one is using some application to take all the speed? other users are complaining that internet speed is bad. When i change password speed is good.

I'm using belkin wireless router.

Is there any other application which could help me on this? or any mode I want to control this.

Help me guys.

Many thanks.

Gifton.

You mention change the password, so your all using wireless?

Yeah I don't know any way to ratelimit by IP over wireless.. Wireless is shared bandwidth - only 1 client can be talking at a time actually. Now if you were all wired, then sue you could get a simple switch that allows rate limiting.

As I said i was not aware of a way to do it, but high end equipment you can do it

Wireless LAN Per-User Rate Limiting Solution

So a quick google found this

How do I configure Bandwidth Control / IP-QoS on TP-LINK wireless router

So seems you can do it over wireless, how well it works or if it even does not sure - but I doubt your belkin supports such feature.

So to your solution, grab a new wireless router that supports it.. And give it a go.

Limiting the download speed for each user will help but it may not get rid of the problem entirely. If someone is uploading something at max speed, then it will slow things down for everyone. This usually happens when someone leaves a torrent running after it has completed.

    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.

      Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.

      Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.

      Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
