Why Bandwidth Management Matters
Without proper management, a few heavy users can consume all available bandwidth, leaving everyone else with a poor experience.
Queue Types Explained
MikroTik offers several queue types: Simple Queues, Queue Trees, and PCQ. Each has its use cases.
Implementing Fair Usage
PCQ (Per Connection Queue) is ideal for hotspots as it automatically divides bandwidth fairly among active users.
Best Practices
- Set realistic limits based on your total bandwidth
- Use burst for better perceived performance
- Monitor usage patterns and adjust accordingly
