Restrict Internet traffic by volume [router mode]
If the AP is in router mode, you can record and restrict the traffic by volume in MB. This
is useful when your ISP measures your traffic volume.
To record and restrict the Internet traffic by volume:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to a WiFi
network or LAN port on the AP.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, dismiss the warning. For more information,
see Find the IP address of the AP when you cannot use routerlogin.net on page 32.
3. Enter the AP local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Traffic Meter.
The Traffic Meter page displays.
5. Select the Enable Traffic Meter check box.
6. Select the Traffic volume control by radio button.
7. From the corresponding menu, select an option:
• Download only. The restriction is applied to incoming traffic only.
• Both Directions. The restriction is applied to both incoming and outgoing traffic.
8. In the Monthly Limit field, enter how many MBytes (MB) per month are allowed.
9. If your ISP charges you for extra data volume when you make a new connection,
enter the extra data volume in MB in the Round up data volume for each connection
by field.
10. In the Traffic Counter section, set the traffic counter to begin at a specific time and
date.
11. In the Traffic Control section, enter a value in MB to specify when the AP issues a
warning message before the monthly limit in MB is reached.
This setting is optional. The AP issues a warning when the balance falls below the
number of MB that you enter. By default, the value is 0 and no warning message is
issued.
12. Select one or more of the following actions to occur when the limit is reached:
