Quality of Service Introduction

If you’ve ever found your ‘net’ speed has slowed to a crawl because another family member is using a P2P file sharing program, you’ll understand why the Quality of Service features in routers is such a breakthrough for home users and office users.

QOS: Keeping Your Net Connection Fast and Responsive

Configurable by source IP address, destination IP address, protocol, and port, the Quality of Service (QOS) gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the router, ensuring bandwidth-consumption data like gaming packets, latency- sensitive application like voice, or even mission critical files, move through the router at lightning speed, even under heavy load. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router. In addition, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds.

QOS Setup

Please choose the QOS in the Configuration item of the left window as depicted below.

After clicking the QOS item, you can Add/Edit/Delete a QOS policy. This page will show the brief information for policies you have added or edited. This page will also display the total available (Non-assigned) bandwidth, in percentage, can be assigned.
