I am using the TP-Link Bandwidth Control feature to limit speeds of various users over a 10mbps total bandwidth. Since I use IPTV, so I basically want 2 of the Smart TVs to be given priority so they are able to use at-least 8mbps whenever they need it (not simultaneously of course). Any other user for the time being should not exceed 2mbps at least when the Television is running. As per my understanding, I did the following:
TV Users
Min. Ingress Bandwidth: 4mbps
Max. Ingress Bandwidth: 9.5mbps
Other Users
Min. Ingress Bandwidth: 150kbps
Max. Ingress Bandwidth: 8.5mbps
Firstly, using the IP range feature, TP-Link assigns a total bandwidth limit to all IPs within the range, and not each IP so I am forced to create the rules per single IPs.
Second, now let's say TV starts downloading a video at 8mbps, would another user downloading at the same time be able to exceed 2mbps and decrease TV's bandwidth as a result or would TV still be given priority? If not, then how can I set it so that TV's bandwidth is always given priority as per demand?
What's the tp-link model number? Qos does per device priority. Limiting bandwidth per IP is not the same thing. – Tim_Stewart – 2018-02-20T21:18:49.650
WR-941ND, the feature is same over all devices I guess. – Asad Moeen – 2018-02-20T21:19:54.643

@Tim_Stewart yeah my router allows bandwidth limiting per IP only, not the device priority. So I was interested to know how would 2 users simultaneously using the bandwidth get affected? – Asad Moeen – 2018-02-20T21:22:49.357
I cant write a full post at the moment. But maybe someone else can give you a step by step as an answer. – Tim_Stewart – 2018-02-20T21:23:29.817
The device that is set with the higher bandwidth will get priority in the case of overload – Tim_Stewart – 2018-02-20T21:24:15.753
Okay. I’ve already tried the link. That’s good for a start, but it doesn’t actually explain the mechanism behind it or how would other users be impacted. – Asad Moeen – 2018-02-20T21:25:16.837
