  • taking a lot of bandwidth,so how can I setQOS? traffic limitation for Lan4 (him)please help.

    You might have also faced the similarproblem. Unfortunately normal routersdont facilitate flexible bandwidth control.Here TP Link TD W8968 is the winner.Through the Bandwidth control option, youcan very easily and flexibly allocatebandwidth for each client machines. Twosettings are available under BandwidthControl Menu- Control Settings and RulesLists. See the screenshots

    Enable the Bandwidth Control optionunder Control settings menu to turn ON thisfeature. Set the Line type to ADSL andenter the total upstream and downstreambandwidth in kbps. This settings will limit theoverall upstream and downstreambandwidth from/to your modem. Forexample if your maximum downstreamspeed is 8 Mbs multiply this with 1024 toget the bandwidth in Kbps which will be 8192 Kbps.

    Select the Rules List menu to view andconfigure the bandwidth control (See theabove image). Click the Add New buttonfor making a new rule. In the page You canenter the IP range and minimum/maximumupstream/downstream bandwidth. Forexample if you want to restrict thebandwidth of a particular machine. Get theIP of that machine and enter the IP addressin both the fields of IP Range.

    Remember: If you enable DHCP , thissetting wont be effective because underDHCP, the clients will be allotted IPaddresses dynamically. Hence for effectivebandwidth control Disable DHCP . Youcan change the DHCP settings throughDHCP Server Menu options. Under DHCPsettings Select the option DisableDHCP Server. Now you have to configure

    Can you help me with this? Im not sure whatim missing. I also have read that differentmanufacturers devices may not becompatible for WDS as IEEE does not definea standard for WDS. Any help will beappreciated.

However, thenthe TD-W8968 DCHPserver still allocatesaddresses in the old default192.168.1.1 address spaceand gives an error if I trychanging to a 10.1.1.129address space so I cant useautomatic TD-W8968DCHP ip assignment. Theonly way around it might beto establish a separateDCHP server on thenetwork for the 10.1.1.129address space.

    I notice that when Imanually re-start the TD-W8968 it reverts to thedefault address of192.168.1.1, although I canmake a secondary ipaddress of 10.1.1.129 andall other settings stickafter a manually re-start ofthe TD-W8968.

They replied saying,Please switch on yourreliance dongle and tryagain and attach logs, as if ihave bought the dongleyesterday. I replied withlogs with dongle versionetc. After that no reply.

    I tried contacting Ralph,their south sales manager.He replied saying he willdirect some engineer andguide me. No one turnedup, i sent a reminder SMS,no reply.

    Now i have ended up with astupid box. If any onewants it please contact me.Its straight out of the boxand i have kept it back now.

    This has taught me not tobuy any stuff from TP-LINK.Really bad customersupport.

    I purchased TD-W8968 recently and facing aproblem in getting an internet connectionusing 3G USB dongle.

    My problem is, when i switched on TD-W8968 modem using USB dongle insertedinto it, it will work for few minutes (say 2-3mins) after that connection goes off. In thewindows taskbar the internet icon is showingas yellow exclamation mark with No internetaccess. when i looked into the setup of tp-link it was showing 3G is connected properlyand the LED light is also glowing in themodem.

    In order to get back the connection youhave restart the modem again. Restarting themodem every 2-3 minutes is pathetic.

    Please suggest me where i am wrong.

    I am using D-Link DWM-156 USB dongle withAirtel 3G connection. I am accessing internetusing my laptop, iPad & mobile all three at atime wirelessly.

    Your early response will be highly obliged.

    some of our routers, we would have to dothis remotely. How do we cap specific IPaddresses if we do not know the IP of thedevices? Or is there an IP range we could usejust to cap on all devices so they share thespeed?Many Thanks

    Hi,

    I have bought a wireless printer AIO CanonPixma MG3570.I tried connecting it to the TP Link W8968Router via WPS Method and cablelessmethod,however none of them seem towork.I tried binding an IP address to the MACaddress of the device and reserved an IP forthe printer in DHCP server Addressreservation too, still no success.I found that though the printer hooks on tothe wifi access point ( as visible in the wifistatus) it however is not shown on DHCPclient list.(the MAC address wasnt listed evenprior to binding and IP address reservation)I have failed to realise whats wrong.Kindly help to resolve the issue.

    PS: I have V2 with latest firmware update

  • now i am using Bsnl Broadband, and in future,if want to change for fibre modem Network,such as You-Broad band or Ticona, OrClickFibre, that requires WAN port with Rj-45pin, wheather i need to change the modemor i can continue with this modem, i mean, willit supports for both ADSL & EWANconnections.

    plz, inform me immediately. i was in dailamo.

    and, one more thing, i am connecting the D-link HSPA Dongle for 3G sharing through USB2.0, but, it will connects, only when PC/Laptop is even connected with the LAN Port.then only, the wifi sharing of 3G Dongle ispossibe.

    can we have any alternative for sharing the3G by Wifi, only by plugging the Dongle intoUSB 2.0 without connecting the LAN port intoPC/ Laptop.

    plz, anyone can clarify my doubts!

    yours Faithfully

    Anand Paul.
