How to limit download size per user?

 Good day.

 We have a problem with our WiFi users by abusing our bandwidth with too high download of DATA. We have SAT10Mbps bandwidth only and ask our users to keep limit of 500MB/24h, but some users managing to download > 1.2GB/24h by slowing down WiFi speed for other colleagues.  :o(

 Is any way to limit download size let's say to 500MB/24h? Any suggestions would be very appreciated!

 Have a good day. Bye!

Hello @whopper

 

Your requirement is something related to accounting. You need to go with Dot1x authentication with Radius Accounting, where you can limit the user bandwidth as well as data consumption.

If you have a spare PC floating around, take a look at installing Mikrotik x86 or CHR with User Manager and hotspot.

It would be best to disable any private MAC addresses and enable MAC address based authentication enabled on 'hotspot'.
