      Hi, this is probably extremely simply to setup but I seem to have found no information so far from Google.

      Basically I have 1 WAN 1 LAN and 1 Wireless

      LAN and Wireless are on separate subnets.

      I want wireless to have limited bandwidth to prevent the traffic on it hogging stuff on LAN.

      How do I set this up in the traffic shaper?

          Whatever you do, don't share your solution because that might help someone else, and we certainly don't want that here in the support forums…

              Using a quick & dirty limiter, if anyones interested :-

              1. Create an upload & download limiter via Firewall -> Traffic Shaper ->Limiters

              2. Create a firewall rule to pass traffic through the interface, Firewall -> Rules -> Interface

              In my case I'm limiting the GUEST Lan to 2 Mbps and they can only access the Internet.

              1. In the above rule that was created goto Advanced Options and add the 2 limiters to the IN / OUT pipe.

              2. View the limiter info via  Diagnostics -> Limiter Info and run a speed test

              Log in to see the screenshots :)
