      So, I am trying to setup a test limiter to limit the download speed for all users to 5mbit, and the upload to 512kbit.

      In order to achieve this, I've set up two limiters:

      Name - Bandwidth - Mask:

      5mbitdl - 5mbit - none
      512kbitul - 512kbit - none

      I then created a firewall rule on the LAN interface, setting 512kbitul to the In selection, and 5mbitdl to the out selection.
      Further options are to pass al traffic, match on all protocols and use *  for both source and destination.

      Before starting this thread I also tried changing the limiter mask to source and destination, and testing them at different clients with different protocols.
      Alas, without any result: bandwidth isn't being limited at all  :(

      Any help would be appreciated!

      Kind regards

        Hi, try to check the order of the firewall rules, maybe a previous rule is applied to that traffic so the firewall doesn't process the rule with the IN/OUT options…
