Rate limit a wireless interface
- by Jamie Hankins
I have access to my routers SSH and IPTables. I want to rate limit my guest network to 1Mb/s so they can't guzzle my bandwidth.

      Mode:Managed  Channel=6  Access Point: :F9
      Bit Rate=300 Mb/s

      Mode:Managed  Channel=6  Access Point: :F8
      Bit Rate=300 Mb/s

      Bit Rate:300 Mb/s

I'm just wondering the command I need to limit it. I tried the iwconfig limit command but it failed.
Thanks
