How to Change the KBS Rate Cap With 2Wire
Your home router's connection rate determines the fastest possible speed for users to download data from the Internet and is set to the preferred level by default to maintain a steady connection and reduce excessive data usage. The rate cap settings in 2Wire's Management Diagnostic Console allows you to configure your router's settings, which provides the ability to reduce or increase the amount of data a user is able to download while connected. Once configured, the new rate cap automatically adjusts the router's settings to affect all connected users.
