Hey all,
as an effort to fix my smart lights disconnecting, I followed instructions on a different forum, but for the same situation I had to create a dedicated guest network for the smart lights, and limit it's bandwidth to 1 Mbps up and down. Well I found 2Mbps up and down was a good spot for me, and it did seem to stop the disconnections. What I didn't expect however, was for it to also enable QOS, and slow my gigabit connection for wired clients down to 500 Mbps. I was able to confirm this was the problem by running the router's built in speed test, and got my full speed, then I disabled bandwidth limiter and this also turned off QOS. My speeds are back to normal. My question is, is there a way to still use bandwidth limiter, if I NEED to without cutting the speeds in half to clients not even related to the guest network?
Thanks
Right now I have the guest network set to not limit bandwith. If things continue to work without drops, I'll leave it as is. However, if limiting the bandwidth also helped for these devices, I'll need to find a way to do this without slowing the whole network down.
