Question

Is there any router let me limit bytes per using for users d

by Jul 24, 2015 7:48AM PDT

I've tried to find solutions in the Internet but still can't solve my problem.

My ISP gives me 100GB monthly.
I want limit the bytes daily for all users.

For example:
I want limit the bytes, so each user can use 100MB daily, after he/she use his bytes, internet will automatically turns off for him/her. (and he need to wait to the next day)

I don't' want to use programs, because they need to be on all the time it means I cannot shutdown My computer, I want a router do the trick

so is there any router do like this ?! please HELP ME Happy

Is there an easy way?

Is there an easy way R. Proffitt, for example a device that I could buy it from an electric-store.
Because I don't know what does Linux Squid mean !!

So far I have to go with no.

While my router does alert on use it fails to meet all your requirements. That's beyond what I see routers offer today and is currently done with some box running Linux and Squid. I see another reply where Gargoyle is noted. But as a consumer/easy/click here system? No, I'm not seeing that yet.
There are many reasons why but I'll leave that as a discussion on its own.

Thank you so much James Denison, who make this firmware should make his own router, or at least any big router's company should buy the idea.
I'm still asking my self, why no company thought about it Confused .
I will try it, and came back with the result, and thank you again Happy .
