 Traffic Control
 Overview
Bandwidth control mode enables the network administrator to control the users’ traffic so as to make
sure that the limited bandwidth resources can be distributed appropriately, improving the internet
utilization.
The AP can perform traffic control in the following modes:

Manual traffic control
You can manually set the maximum upload and download speeds by SSID and client to limit the
total bandwidth for SSIDs and evenly allocate bandwidth to clients. After multiple SSIDs are enabled,
this function prevents a low-priority network (such as the guest network) or user from using
excessive bandwidth, which significantly reduces the bandwidth available to other networks and
clients.

Automatic traffic control
You only need to specified the total AP bandwidth provided by your ISP and set the maximum
upload and download speeds by SSID. With the settings, the AP dynamically and evenly allocate
the total bandwidth to all the clients connected to the AP, and allocate the SSID-specific bandwidth
to all the clients connected with the SSID.
