I am learning the intricacies of bandwidth management and traffic shaping, so if my question is off the wall, please excuse my ignorance. I am learning this because the office and remote workers are going to be using VoIP and I need to manage bandwidth at the office location.
I have been researching the issue for maybe 10 hours so I am just now reaching out for help.
I would like to limit the uploading bandwidth of NeoRouter connections at the office router. Uploading to the WAN from the office is limited to <>2Mb and anyone on the NeoRouter network would suck up at least half of that with a file download from the office server. I need to leave a hole in the bandwidth so VoIP has a good chance of connecting cleanly.
On the router, I gave the mac address of a remote computer a specific office router LAN IP address (10.141.229.xxx) but I cannot use that to control the bandwidth.
It seems I could only control the bandwidth with the router if I could control the NeoRouter IP address, but my router (Cisco RV082) won't recognize those IP addresses.
I could limit the bandwidth at the server, but some remote laptops do come into the office and I need to allow them full bandwidth while they are there.
We have a license for 50 NeoRouter connections. We are converting to Linux from Windows, so at the moment it is a mixed bag of OSs. I appreciate NeoRouter, so thanks for the good work.
Lost in Medford, Oregon, USA. Any help appreciated. John.
