Advanced > QoS > MAC
The user may also set QoS by specific MAC address. To enable QoS per MAC address, first click the MAC radio button which will reveal the preceeding screen for the user to configure. Ensure that the Bandwidth configured does not exceed the incoming bandwidth from the ISP or it will cause other devices on the LAN to slow down due to decreased bandwidth. Check with your ISP for more information on the bandwidth allotted to your account.
WAN Uplink Bandwidth | Use the pull down menu to set the WAN Uplink Bandwidth. The user |
| may choose a speed from 64kbps to Full (100Mbps). Ensure that the |
| Bandwidth does not exceed the incoming bandwidth from the ISP or it |
| will cause other devices on the LAN to slow down due to decreased |
| bandwidth. Check with your ISP for more information on the bandwidth |
| allotted to your account. |
QoS Control by MAC | Click the Enabled radio button to enable QoS priority by MAC address. |
| Information coming from this MAC address will have the highest |
| priority on the LAN. This means that information originating from this |
| device will be sent to other devices on the LAN requesting it, first. |
| Other devices will have a lower priority in sending information through |
| the router. |
Source MAC | Enter the source MAC address that will be set for high priority QoS in |
| the router. |
DHCP Client | The user may use the DHCP client to aid in choosing the MAC |
| address to be implemented for QoS. All devices connected to the |
| router will be listed in the pull down menu. Simply choose the correct |
| device and click the Clone button, which will produce that devices |
| MAC address in the Source MAC field. |
Bandwidth | Use the |
| Setting on this router. The user may set a bandwidth between 1Kbps |
| to 32Mbps. Choosing Best Effort will set the router to allow the first |
| user to access the source MAC address to have the total bandwidth |
| needed for the file being transferred. Choosing Full will denote that the |
| router will allot 100Mbps of bandwidth for the specified QoS |
| implementation. Only one QoS implementation can be set at Full. |
Click Apply to set the QoS for MAC.
