It seems that many users don't know how to prioritize the traffic using the Mikrotik RouterOS Hotspot service.

The trick with mandwidth management in Hotspot is to use the Users Profiles, and assign the different type of speeds that is related to a specific group.

In hotspot profiles>>rate limite:
use the following string: x1k/y1k x2k/y2k x3k/y3k x5/y5 P x6k/y6k

where:
x1k/y1k: Rate (txrate/rxrate i.e 128k/1024k)
x2k/y2k: Burst Rate (i.e 256k/2048k)
x3k/y3k: Burst Threshold (i.e 160k/1280k)
x5/y5: Burst Time (in seconds i.e: 60/60)
Priority: P (use integer from 1-8)
Minimum rate: x6k/y6k (i.e 32k/256k)

for example: 24k/128k 32k/256k 24k/196k 30/30 8 16k/64k

means:
Rate:24k/128k
Burst Rate: 32k/256k
Burst Threshold: 24k/196k
Burst Time: 30/30
Priority: 8
Minimum rate: 16k/64k

if you just want to use rate and priority, then use:
Rate, Burst Rate, Burst Priority, Minimum rate.
