    Yes but you must note that ClearOS 6 has gone End-of-life and is receiving no more updates. If any vulnerabilities appear, they will not be patched.

    It is possible to install the old bandwidth manager from the command line as you have found out. I have absolutely no idea if it works as it was never properly released for ClearOS 7.x and probably was not tested.

    Hi, thank you for your response, I found a way on how to download and use the old Bandwidth Manager, is it still functional? Because, I followed the steps in the Documentation but it seems it's not working.

    The old bandwidth manager from 6.x no longer exists. Now there is a Bandwidth/QoS manager which works differently and it is no easy to make it limit bandwidth. It allows you to allocate priorities with the lowest being 7 and the highest being 1. Any device in band 7 is allowed the full bandwidth if nothing else is using it. However if a device with a higher priority requires some bandwidth, it gets it in preference to a device of priority 7.

    It goes on the the thinking "if no one else wants it, why limit the bandwidth of the lowest priority device".
