Hi,
Is there any way to limit the speed of WAN to all the people who connect to my WiFi except for two PCs?

I mean literally all and not manually add each one's MAC address and limit them.
That would waste a lot of my time every time someone new connects to my WiFi.

Honestly, as flexible as DD-WRT is, I am finding the best way to create differential access, bandwidth and access regimes is to limit the guest users to a second DD-WRT router configured with the limitations.

That said, there may be some ideas for doing what you want in this thread:

That's pretty advanced stuff, and is just one more reason why a second DD-WRT device configured as a WAP with limitations.

Your "privileged" couple of machines would log on to your main router's wifi using one SSID, and your "underclass" machines would use the WAP with its own SSID and all the bells and whistles to prevent their abuse of bandwidth.

Its what I do with my kids dozens of wireless devices and its served me well.

Bump!

Guys, I really want to give everyone limited speeds except for 1 client on the WiFi and one on wired connection before they eat up all my limited plan's bandwidth.

Have you looked under the QBS Tab?

Enabling QBS puts an extra burden on your router''s processor. You may end up slowing down everything.

lolcocks,
Have you reviewed my thread about setup basic QoS?

Any QoS is going to slow down a router but especially those with 1 core and or are older units.

Having said that, what you want to do is fairly well discernible from my R7000 config example (unless the code has changed since the guide was written).

1st you need to understand how the various QoS mechanisms take priority if you have multiple set.

http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=263940

"The order the precendence is as follows:
◾ MAC - If you have specified a MAC address priority then it takes precedence over all others
◾ Netmask - The IP address entries are applied in the order that they appear in your netmask table. Interestingly only the first match applies. For example if you have an entry marking 192.168.1.10/32 as bulk followed by an entry marking 192.168.1.0/24 (all 192.168.1 addresses) as premium the traffic from 192.168.1.10 would be marked bulk because it was the first match. Also if a match is found in this table it does not matter what you put in the services table.
◾ Services - The services entries are applied in the order that they appear in your services tables. Again, only the first match will apply.
◾ Ethernet Ports -
only works on old models with ADMtek switch chips. That is, the Linksys WRT54G v1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1 and the WRT54GS v1.0. It appears that this Ethernet Port Priority option has been removed for many models that do not support it, but many Broadcom G spec models that do not support it still display it."

#1
Determine your WAN up/down speeds and configure that appropriately in the QoS settings at the top of the tab.
Apply

#2
Since you want 2 clients unrestricted you would create 2 client entries for those 2 mac addresses under the mac priority section of QoS.
Set the WAN max up/down values to whatever your internet speeds are. Set the Priority to Premium or Express. Really just something higher than bulk which is the standard most traffic flows at.
Apply

#3
Under the netmask priority section you will create an entry that covers the whole subnet you use in your house. Set your WAN up/down to whatever you want each client limited to. Set the priority to either manual or bulk.
Apply

Reboot the router & see if that helps.

Again, QoS is a software feature so it could impact overall performance; especially if the router is not a newer/powerful model.

Also, at the time of the writing of the QoS example I made QoS was working.
I cannot vouch for its current status so your mileage may very.

Good luck.
