This option is disabled by default. Enable this option for better performance and experience with online games and other interactive applications, such as VoIP.

This option is enabled by default when the GameFuel option is enabled. This option will allow your router to automatically determine which programs should have network priority.

This option should be enabled when you have a slot Internet uplink. It helps to reduce the impact that large low priority network packets can have on more urgent ones.

This option is enabled by default when the GameFuel option is enabled. This option will allow your router to automatically determine the uplink speed of your Internet connection.

This displays the detected uplink speed.

The speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISP’s often speed as a download/upload pair. For example, 1.5Mbits/284Kbits. Using this example, you would enter

284.Alternatively you can test your uplink speed with a service such as www.dslreports.com.

By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some other connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network. If you have an unusual network connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either “Static” or “DHCP” in the WAN settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but gives much better results.

When Connection Type is set to automatic, the automatically detected connection type is displayed here.
