Hi There-
Sorry if this has been covered before, but search came up empty. Per the topic, for the connected device table, GL.inet's U/I has entries to limit up/down bandwidth for specific devices on the table (it shows both mac/IP. When I go into the native luci interface and dig around the firewall and interface rules, etc. I see nothing related to these. As a matter of policy, I'd like to deal with configuration at a more granular level and would prefer the luci interface as it would be less proprietary, and this cheap little thing is getting replaced with a Banana in a couple weeks anyhow so this feature is highly desirable to control certain network devices with a penchant for babbling. So I guess the question is, is this functionality provided by an additional luci app (SQM maybe?) which would expose the feature in the native interface?
Thanks,
GW
If you're using GL-inet's vendor supplied firmware, you'll need to ask them for help.

The "bicephal" version of openwrt provided by gl.inet looks cool but if you are more serious about configuration, you really need to switch to the genuine OpenWrt. Each time I tried something out the ordinary, I would run into conflicts. Beside last time I checked for this model, the factory firmware was late by 2 major releases of OpenWrt
Yeah, I noticed that the firmware, especially on this little thing, is seriously backrev since the HW resources are minimal. I've a Banana-3 dev board on the way, the one with all the things and intend to run latest stable on it, along with all the usual pi things I need it to run. Even given the laggy release cycle, the gl.inet is lightyears better than netgear's trashy/buggy firmware...I mean, there's metrics and graphs and diagnostics and...and...and... Should have done this years ago.
But this one thing the Gl does out of the box with this firmware release is setting independent u/d limits right from the connected device table...and it's weird that I can't find the traffic meters in the luci representations of nftables. Now, I've yet to dump the table config at the command line level, I'll probably find them there, I just thought it unusual that it's not obvious drilling into luci gui representation.
