How to limit Internet speed?

In fact, the essence of this action is not at all to provide yourself with weak speeds forever. This is necessary only to relieve the flow: when Internet speed is used to its fullest, there is simply nothing else that can be done. If you have a router, then you can limit both the speed of the entire network as a whole and individual devices in particular.

We go to the router control panel. Let's go to the section called DHCP. The DHCP server must be included.

Next we need the Bandwidth Control section. We indicate the connection type, as well as the maximum outgoing and incoming connection speed. Save the changes and go to the list of rules in the same section.

We add a new rule, enter a range of IP addresses (if you need to limit the speed for all connections of the router, enter the range from the DHCP tab. We do not need a range of ports, it is better to set all protocols. We leave the minimum restrictions at 0, the maximum - taking into account how many you need to limit the connection. Enter the speed, save, reboot the router through the panel.

If we need to limit the speed of a specific device, we must first bind it to a MAC address. To do this, go to DHCP, select address reservation, reserve the corresponding IP addresses for MAC addresses. After everything has been reserved, we proceed to reboot the device.

If everything is linked, go to Bandwdith Control again, select the list of rules, add a new rule. We enable the rule, select a specific IP address, select all protocols and limit the maximum speed for this device.

So, this is about routers. If you don’t have a router, and you just need to limit the speed of your computer, programs such as NetLimiter or NetBalancer come to the rescue.
