How to configure Rate Limiting on Reyee APs?

Note: This function is supported only by RG-RAP2260(G), RG-RAP2260(E), RG-RAP6260(G), RG-RAP6262(G),

RG-RAP2260(H), RG-RAP6260(H), RG-RAP2260, and RG-RAP6262.

Introduction:

The device supports four rate limiting modes: client-based rate limiting, SSID-based rate limiting, AP-based rate limiting, and packet-based rate limiting. For the same client, if multiple rate-limiting modes are configured, the priority order is as follows: client-based rate limiting > SSID-based rate limiting > AP-based rate limiting.

1) Client-based rate limiting: This function allows you to limit the rate based on the MAC address of the client,

so as to limit or guarantee the bandwidth required by specific clients.


2) SSID-based rate limiting: This function provides two rate-limiting modes for a specified SSID: Rate Limit Per

User and Rate Limit All Users. Rate Limit Per User means that all clients connected to the SSID use the

same rate limit. Rate Limit All Users means that the configured rate limit value is evenly allocated to all

clients connected to the SSID. The rate limit value of each client dynamically changes with the number of

clients connected to the SSID.


3) AP-based rate limiting: This function limits client rates based on the whole network. All clients connected

to the network will work according to the configured rate limit value.


4) Packet-based rate limiting: This function limits the client rates based on the downlink broadcast and multicast packets. The device supports rate limiting for specific broadcast packets (such as ARP and DHCP), multicast packets (such as MDNS and SSDP), or all types of broadcast and multicast packets. If network stalling

remains during network access and there is no client with large traffic, you are advised to adjust the rate

between 1 kbps and 512 kbps.


Configuration:

Client-based Rate Limiting

1) Choose Network ( WLAN) > LimitSpeed > Client-based Rate Limiting



2) Enable Wireless Rate Limiting



3) Click Add. In the dialog box that appears, set the MAC address and uplink and downlink rate limit values of

the client, and click OK.




SSID-based Rate Limiting

1) Choose Network ( WLAN) > LimitSpeed > SSID-based Rate Limiting



2) Enable Wireless Rate Limiting



3) Click Edit in the Action column of the target SSID. In the dialog box that appears, set the uplink and downlink rate limit modes and values, and click OK.




AP-based Rate Limiting

1) Choose Network ( WLAN) > LimitSpeed > AP-based Rate Limiting



2) Enable Wireless Rate Limiting


3)  Set the uplink and downlink rate limit modes to Rate Limit Per User, configure the rate limit values, and click OK.




Packet-based Rate Limiting

1) Choose Network ( WLAN) > LimitSpeed > Packet-based Rate Limiting



2) Enable Wireless Rate Limiting



3) Select the specific type of packets for rate limiting, configure the rate limit value, and click Save.
