Limiting Bandwidth for specific devices question

Hello to all!

 I have an ADSL connection, 8Mbits down / 1Mbit up. My wife is currently working from home and when kids are at the house and use their tablets, they have the amazing ability to consume all bandwidth while watching youtube. So I wanted to limit their two tablets to consume half (4Mbit) of my available download bandwidth.

So what I have done:

1. In QOS -->Status my WAN Interface is set like so:

      

2. I have created two traffic selectors, one for each device:

3. Then I am proceeding to create a new bandwidth pool with the following settings:

4. After creating it, I slide the button to enable it, but I get the following error:

So it looks like the bandwidth pool is using the uplink max speed. I looked up the online manual and it states that "With a bandwidth pool, you reserve a guaranteed bandwidth for a specific outgoing traffic type" So is this setting only for limiting upload speed?

 

5. After getting that error I went ahead and created a new throttling rule with the following settings:

I selected Shared because I want both of the tablet to not exceed 4Mbits. Is this the correct thing to do in my case?

Also another question: Does the throttling rule apply only when the QoS is enabled for the specific interface?

Thanks a lot guys!
