Recommend a router with WISP and automatic device download limit

Hello.
I need an advice. I'm looking for a router that can connect via WISP and have automatic bandwidth limiter when device is connected to their wifi. Does a cheap router comes with that feature?
I'm allowing this neighbor to connect to my network(internet) and they agree to pay around $10/mo and also, I don't want them to know my password. So I asked them money so I can buy a cheap router which have a WISP capability and also have a bandwidth limiter feature that automatically limit/throttle their speed on their router.
I'm allowing them 20Mbps/5Mbps (Download/Upload) limits but I also want their router to automatically limit each device that connects on their wifi to 5Mbps/1Mbps to avoid one of their devices from eating all their resources. 5Mbps download speed is good for watching 480p youtube videos (Tested it personally) or even netflix without lags.
I have a tenda router that has this feature but it is expensive around $90-$120. I'm just looking for a router that hopefully have this kind of feature that is around $8-$15.
Can someone recommend something like this? Tenda F6 is my last choice but it does not have automatic bandwidth limit and they are not techie to do manual limit.
Internet is costly (not expensive) in our area. The lowest plan is around $30/mo at 50Mbps (with 60% speed/connection reliability)

Nowadays almost all the routers comes with QoS feature.
but I'm looking for one that has automatic limit. router so far has only manual limit.
what do you mean by automatic limit?
Maybe something like this:

A GL-AR300M16 is just something like $25

Get one of the asus routers with asus wrt software, they have all the features you are looking for.
like everytime a device connects to their wifi it will be automatically scaled or limit the download and upload speed for around (2Mbps/1Mbps) this way, even if he download a big file the other users will still be able to surf/view videos fine. IDM is notorious for getting all the speed when it downloads. So if someone uses IDM, all other users will surely suffer.
Any router that accepts openwrt can do the job.
