Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.1.2 Build 20230210 Rel. 62992

Hello all,


I have an ER605 Omada Gigabit Multi-WAN VPN Router. On my WAN Interface I have a local carrier (Telmex). On my WAN/LAN1 Interface I have Starlink.

I have now moved my Starlink service to be only a backup with a plan of maximum 10GB per month. Any additional data consumed by Starlink would be invoiced at an additional cost, which I want to avoid.

Within the load balancing section I have Load Balancing Enabled, and I placed a rule which is “Backup when any primary WAN fails”. The primary is WAN which is Telmex, and the Backup is WAN/LAN1 which is Starlink. The traffic status indeed shows low utilization on the Starlink, and high on Telmex, which is what I expected. Is there any way to place a limit on the Starlink (WAN/LAN1) so that it will never use more than 10GB of data per month? I went to the section Bandwidth Control under Transmission, but if I add a rule it seems to be only for the speed allowed to be used, not for the data consumed per month. I am using Firmware 2.1.2 Build 20230210 Rel. 62992 with Hardware Version ER605 V2.0

 

Thanks a lot,

Ruben.

If you want to have such a control, it should be on the Starlik router. It's a bit of the same problem as with 4G routers, but this control is on the 4G router itself.

You might look into the option on your modem to limit the data once it reaches the threshold.

The problem is that Starlink doesn't have any option to limit the data at all. I just checked it, and it provides very few and poor options.
