After selecting the device, the user needs to go to the right toolbar and select the "Settings" option.

The "Settings" option will open a new page where configuration categories are available. The user needs to find the "Content" category.

Example of the "Content" device settings section display

In the "Content" category, the user must toggle the checkbox from "Disable" to "Enable" in the "Download Speed Limit" row. By default, the checkbox is always set to "Disable".

Example of the "Download Speed Limit" row display

After activation via the checkbox, an input field will become available where the user must specify the speed limit as a numeric value. By default, the minimum value is 64. The entered data is measured in Kbps.

Example of the entered speed limit display

After specifying the value, the user needs to scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the "Save Changes" button to apply the setting.
