Bandwidth Control

You can control the left slider for guaranteeing bandwidth, and right slider for limiting bandwidth for individual

family member, and percentage and bandwidth (kbps) of min and max will display accordingly. The default will be

no guarantee and limit bandwidth, so the default min rate is 0% and max rate is 100%. You can allocate the

guaranteed bandwidth for all family members, and the total min bandwidth is 100% of the max bandwidth

provided by ISP. For example, if the max upstream bandwidth provided by ISP is 512Kbit/sec, and you allocate

50% for user A, and he will get 256Kbit/sec guaranteed bandwidth. The max bandwidth user A can use will be

512Kbit/sec, but you also can lower the max bandwidth to limit the bandwidth for this user. For example, if you

limit the max as 70%, the max bandwidth user A can use will be around 358Kbit/sec.
