3.3 Using the Traffic Manager

3.3.1 Managing QoS (Quality of Service) Bandwidth

The Quality of Service (QoS) allows you to set the bandwidth priority and manage network traffic.

NOTES:

The default rule sets online gaming and web surfing as the highest priority and are not influenced by P2P applications (peer-to-peer applications such as Bit Torrent).

If QoS is turned off, the P2P (peer-to-peer) applications will be given the top priority to use the upload and download bandwidths. If a P2P application is used, you may encounter some lag during web surfing.

To set up bandwidth priority:

1.From the navigation panel, go to General > Traffic Manager> QoS tab.

2.Click ON to enable QoS. Fill in the upload and download bandwidth fields.

NOTE: Get the bandwidth information from your ISP.

3. Click Save.

NOTE: The table on the screen below is for advanced settings. If you want to prioritize specific network applications and network services, select User-defined QoS rules or User-defined Priority from the drop- down list on the upper-right corner.
