Hey everyone,I am load balancing between 2 Mbps (down) , 0.5 Mbps (up) lines to get 4 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload, I am having trouble setting up bandwidth control as follows,My PC is in a separate group and has an IP of 192.168.2.4My iPad is in another group and has an IP of 192.168.2.5My PC is always downloading so I want it to use the entire 4 Mbps when it is alone, however I want this speed to decrease to 2 Mbps automatically only when my iPad starts using the Internet so that they share it and vice versa.So I turned bandwidth control on and set it as followsPC - WAN 1 guaranteed 10 limited 0 (up) guaranteed 10 limited 0 (down)PC - WAN 2 guaranteed 490 limited 0 (up) guaranteed 2037 limited 0 (down)iPad - WAN 1 guaranteed 490 limited 0 (up) guaranteed 2037 limited 0 (down)iPad - WAN 2 guaranteed 10 limited 0 (up) guaranteed 10 limited 0 (down)The problem is that the PC downloads at 4 Mbps and doesn't leave any bandwidth for my iPad when it starts to load , for example: YouTube.My hardware is V4 and I have the latest firmware.Any help is appreciated and thank you.

I can't speak for TP-Link but bandwidth control is only a very "random" thing for no router in the world can be sure about the size the packets will be incoming from WAN: It can only stop sending more outbound packets and hope that it will be able to digest the response packets that are still on the way...

A different policy, that is, to start with one packet, measure the resulting throughput and then ramp up / down would never be able to use the full bandwidth from start, thus is also flawed..
