Hi, I don't believe you can create what you are calling, a "bandwidth pool" on an aggregate basis. You can only set bandwidth limits on a per-client basis, not a per-group or per-pool basis. The one exception to this that I am aware of is if you are running any Meraki wireless AP's, you can set a per-SSID bandwidth limit. I think that's kind of what you're wanting to achieve, but on the wired LAN. Here's a reference article, but still, not necessarily what you're asking for. Global Bandwidth Limit Considerations Other measures you can take to improve performance: Do you have your VoIP traffic running on its own dedicated voice vlan? If not, I recommend doing so. This will give you some more granular controls, optimizations, and minimize broadcast traffic interference with your VoIP traffic. You could consider getting more prescriptive about what you are putting out over the fiber WAN vs. the coax WAN, and with Traffic Shaping, try to carve out lower priority traffic to the coax? There's A LOT you can do here. I recommend doing some data analysis first based on what historical data your MX84 captures, to help inform effective Traffic Shaping rules. 30 days of data is probably a good starting point. Lastly, if you leave your clients set to unlimited bandwidth, I don't think it matters what you do with anything else, you will always risk maxing out your 50/50 connection. I highly recommend a sensible per-client limit, but then layering in some basic traffic shaping that places more restrictive bandwidth limits on select, lower-priority services, and/or make exceptions to the per-client limit for high-priority services and/or clients (see Group Policies). To give you some context of where I am coming from, we have two WAN's of similar size to yours, but with an average of 300+ clients connected.
