[opensuse] reducing wifi use of bandwith
For my main use of my router I use the cable connection via a switch. Three computers are connected in this way. A fourth cable forms the connection to wifi which I put there for my guests. No guest at the moment I have allowed two neighboring boys to use my wifi. They are the only ones close enough to make use of the wifi. Due to the very low connection speed to the internet, 1,4 Mbps download and 0,54 Mbps upload, I have now regularly problems with the normal use of the internet. Could I reduce their internet us (the wifi connections) to say 30% of the actual total capacity of my internet connection in those cases that I am downloading bigger updates etc.? I can of course just kill the wifi part by using the on off switch but that does not seem the way to go. -- Qt: 5.6.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.25.0 kf5-config: 1.0 KDE Plasma: 5.7.4 Kernel: 4.7.2-2-default opensuse:tumbleweed:20160907 Linux User 183145 working on a Pentium IV . -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

with this config, it's bind to the router capability. does it have some sort of "QoS" (Quality of Service) function? else you should need to plug your wifi on a linux box and play there jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You could configure the wifi radio to one of the modes with lower capacity, but with your low internet speed that will not be enough. A trick could be to connect the cable using eth 10mbps. How to force it, I do not know. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
