Note

The WAN “idle timeout” auto-disconnect function may not work due to abnormal activities of some network application software, computer virus or hacker attacks from the Internet. For example, some software sends network packets to the Internet in the background, even when you are not using the Internet. This function also may not work with some ISP. So please make sure this function can work properly when you use this function in the first time, especially your ISP charge you by time used. Due to the many uncontrollable issues, we do not guarantee the WAN “idle timeout” auto-disconnect function will always work. In order to prevent from extra fee charged by ISP, please TURN OFF THE ROUTER WHEN YOU FINISHED USING THE INTERNET.

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 QoS Rule rule and click “Move Down” to make its priority lowerThe name of this rule Select the WAN ports that the packets matchingBandwidth Source AddressSource MAC Address Source IP AddressReset ApplyDomain Name Server DNS address DefaultSecondary DNS Address optional Enable/Disable Password/KeyProvider DynDNS2.3 LAN LAN IPIP Address Pool Lease TimeDomain Name 192.168.2.100 to End IP 192.168.2.199 .
