I have a TP-Link WR941ND with DD-WRT firmware. Another ISP provided router dials the PPPoE connection for internet. The DD-WRT router was connected to the ISP router once through LAN in DHCP forwarder mode and another time in Wireless Client Bridge mode as a Range Extender.

In both scenarios, QoS set to Lan/Wlan ports did not work and any of the connected devices were able to use as much bandwidth as needed. However, when I connected the DD-WRT router through its WAN port and use it as a main router that dials the connection, the QoS works fine, when set to WAN port.

Am I doing something wrong or is it only supposed to work through WAN port?

You haven't set the mac addresses at the bottom of the page.

Make sure your total uplink and downlink bandwidth are accurate. You want them about 10% lower than the actual amount you receive under a speed test.

This method of bandwidth control permanently limits the device added. Its a much better choice to use the dynamic features outlined in the link i gave you.

A couple pointers from using dd-wrt since its inception on countless routers.

  1. using virtual access points and repeaters on the same physical radio will significantly reduce the chip-sets lifetime.

  2. don't jack up the TX power past what the factory firmware setting was. its usually about 27-30 Dbm, or the end result will be a significantly reduced router lifetime.

  3. when you have the router in bridge or client bridge mode disable the spi firewall.
