Find a router with options for separate user accounts and data limits
Hey there! I’m looking for a router that lets me set up separate accounts for each user and control data usage to prevent any one person from hogging the internet. Any suggestions for affordable options would be great. Thanks in advance! If you’re available in Sydney, Australia, I’d love to chat more about it!
User accounts are necessary because MAC addresses alone aren't enough to manage network traffic effectively. Modern routers often include QoS features out of the box, and checking compatibility ensures you get the full functionality.
You're looking for a routerboard. The prices are great and the products are dependable, though setting them up can be challenging. I'm aware that some come with limited-time programming assistance. There should be a local dealer who can help you choose a model that fits your requirements.
The router isn't handling that task—it wasn't built for it. You can configure MAC-based blacklists to restrict or permit specific devices, but beyond basic access control, a router's capabilities are limited. To achieve more advanced internet access management, you'll need an internet proxy solution. For instance: https://www.linux.com/news/controlling-i...-safesquid
