Different Speed Limitations for WAN vs LAN - Possible?

[Oj0]

The setup is as follows:

Fibre ONT -> MikroTik RB2011iL-RM -> Ubiquiti UAC-AP-LR

That's the important bit. The Mik is also connected to various other devices (switch, PC, phones, etc) which doesn't matter in this equation. The AP is connected on Eth10 (PoE).

At the moment, I have the AP configured to limit bandwidth to 50Mbps via a bandwidth profile so that wireless clients don't saturate the WAN connection, but I need local transfers to be able to do 100Mbps (Wi-Fi signal is strong enough to do this with ease if I remove the bandwidth limit).

I have a strong feeling that the AP doesn't have the intelligence to know the difference between LAN and WAN data, so I think it'll need to be configured on the router.

Is this possible, and if so, how?

The TL;DR is basically Eth10 on the router needs to limit WAN traffic to 50Mbps and local traffic to 100Mbps

Best would be to try and limit http/https traffic. That way you can keep normal tcp/upd traffic going full speed.

You can setup Queues on the router to filter by IP

Hi There,

Try this
/queue simple add dst=172.16.1.0/24 name="queue Internal " target=172.16.1.129/32
/queue simple add max-limit=10M/10M name="queue External" target=172.16.1.129/32


The internal range (Target just a quick example modify as needed)
The order that it is in should work just like the firewall filter rules
Did a quick test and seems to be working

Lemme know interesting query though
