Limiting Bandwidth by IP range

Bandwidth management, Wireless networking, Bandwidth

Our guest can access internet via Wireless using a guest account on our ntwork but they can't access the resources on the network. We are looking for a was to limit the amount of bandwidth(Guest IP Range) used by the guests so it's doens't affect our network

You would likely want to use Quality of Service (QoS) to acomplish this task. many mid to high end routers have this functionality and will let you limit the bandwidthe used for a type of service (or services) to a specific amount or priority if you wish by a number of factors, one of which is a IP Range.

To accomplish this you will need to ensure that "guests" either plug into specific ports that are configured as Guest ports on the network, and therefore get the guest Ip address ranges, or use some sort of authentication scheme with the firewall/proxy to accomplish this goal.
