How do I limit bandwidth on a particular device?

I want to know how I can manually limit the Kbps for a particular devince in the QOS.
I DO NOT want to simply set the priority (low/med/high). I want to "physically" limit a device.

 

When I select to do it manually (upstream bandwidth) it limits ALL devices and I do not want this.

I want to limit the bandwidth on only one device that is connected (ie an Xbox)

 

I have a Linksys E4200 V2

 

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, no you do not have this ability.

By product design the router does not have that capability. What it does is just set the priority.

In your case could you please let me know whether your X-Box is connected wired or wireless to the router? Try to set the upstream bandwidth with the desired value and select 'MAC address' under the heading 'category', put the MAC address (depending upon how the x-box is connected to the router) in the space provided keeping priority as high.

its wired.

upstream bandwidth affects ALL devices, as I previously stated. its useless to me.

I agree with Jake_2.0, the router don't have that capability.

Yes that was already stated.  Please do not duplicate answers.

Is there even a cisco router that DOES?

You are free to search the Internet and check all the specs of the routers to see.
