How To Set WiFi Speed Limit For Specific Device Without Admin Panel

If you don’t have admin access to the router, it's pretty hard to limit the Wi-Fi speed for a specific device directly. Most routers require admin login to set per-device bandwidth limits using QoS or similar features.


That said, there are a few workarounds depending on your setup:

• Use your PC as a middleman (hotspot or Ethernet sharing):
  On Windows, you can use tools like NetLimiter to control bandwidth for devices connected through your PC. On Linux, tools like tc or wondershaper can also help with this.
• Custom firmware router (if you can flash one):
  If you have a router that supports DD-WRT, OpenWRT, or Tomato, you can install custom firmware and configure QoS to set speed limits per IP or MAC. But again, you'd need access to the router to do this.
• Mobile hotspot:
  If you're sharing your mobile connection, some Android apps (on rooted devices) like NetGuard or AFWall+ let you manage bandwidth per app or connection.

If you're trying to stop a specific device from hogging all the bandwidth and can't touch the main router, your best option might be to create your own private access point using a second router or a PC acting as a gateway.
