Model :

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

ISP :

I already took a look at the other posts but the only one with a solution was with a different router and asked to install a beta version of it's firmware, which won't work on mine.

I have my router configured as an access point and the reason I bought it was to be able to control the bandwidth so I could always have a minimum bandwidth on my PC (work). I added the necessary rules, trying to set a minimum for myself or a max for other connected devices but neither worked. I tried with both Bandwidth Control Settings enabled and disabled.
First I tried with WDS bridging (prefered) but since it didn't work I'm now trying wired. I also upgraded my firmware.

After several hours searching on google and experimenting, bandwidth control is still not working. My main test is to set my phone to a max of 1 kbps which should give a really crappy connection. But nothing, my phone's internet works as a charm.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Since noone answered, I'll answer myself.
It doesn't work as an access point. You need to have the router setup through WAN and doing the actual connection to internet (PPPoe on my case) itself.
After setting up my modem as brdige and have the router do the connection it worked.
