I just got my first MikroTik: rb750 for my house.
It comes pretty much set up, but I'd like to bandwidth control port 5.
This is because I run a wire from port 5 to my rental house next door, and I want to control their speed on the internet.

I really don't know where to start.
Using Winbox, I've looked at queues and so forth but really haven't got anywhere.

Can someone suggest a starting point for me?

thanks!

you could simply open up the interface and set the rate limit there ...

Thanks for the reply.
That is actually the first thing I tried.
For some reason, I can't queue the download.

I get the error (in WinBox):
"Couldn't change interface <ether5> - rx limiting not supported on this device (6)"

I will let me queue tx butr not rx.

do you have this interface in a bridge? it so. go to queues -> simple queues add -> put the name -> go to advance in interface put the bridge or the ether5, if the port 5 if not in a bridge and assign the Bandwith what you want.

Regards,

The RB750 has ether2 to ether5 in a switch configuration. You must remove ether5 from the switch.
/interface ethernet
set ether5 master-port=none

Then assign an ip/netmask to ether5
/ip address
add address=192.168.0.1/24 interface=ether5

You will need to set up a dhcp server on the neighbor's interface, so
/ip dhcp-server setup

Enter "ether5" as the interface. If the default route and dns is set up correctly, all should be enter-enter-enter from there on out.

My next question was how to set ether5 to its own subnet, which you've already answered.
It all works great, just what I needed. Great learning experience too.
Thanks!
