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.

If Dynamic Fragmentation is enabled, you can fine tune the fragment size. The default value is 576. Select a smaller size if you have a slow uplink and VoIP quality is not optimal; select a larger size for faster uplinks.

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.
