You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve bandwidth for it. The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first. Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get enough bandwidth. This can let you have a better experience in using critical real time services like Internet phone, video conference …etc. All the applications not specified by you are classified as rule name “Others”. The rule with smaller priority number has higher priority the rule with larger priority number has lower priority. You can adjust the priority of the rules by moving them up or down Enable/Disable QoS Add a QoS rule into the table Select the WAN ports that the packets matching QoS Rulerule and click “Move Down” to make its priority lower The name of this ruleSource IP Address BandwidthSource Address Source MAC AddressApply ResetDefault Domain Name Server DNS addressSecondary DNS Address optional DynDNS Enable/DisablePassword/Key ProviderLAN IP 2.3 LAN192.168.2.100 to End IP 192.168.2.199 .
