  1. Login to the Meraki Portal.
  2. From the menu on the right, select Security Appliance, and then Traffic Shaping.
  3. Setup your max upstream/downstream bandwidth using the 95/5 rule.
    • Take the advertised speed and set 95% as the max available bandwidth. Since the upstream bandwidth is not always consistent and can differ (usually around 5%), this should set a safe limit. If you wish to be more conservative, set it to 90%.
