Quality of Service (QoS) ensures better service to high-priority types of network traffic, which may involve demanding, real-time applications, such as videoconferencing.

QoS (Quality of Service)

Wireless

Wireless QoS. If you have other devices on your network that support Wireless QoS, keep the default, Enabled. Otherwise, select Disabled.

No Acknowledgement. If you want to disable the Router’s Acknowledgement feature, so the Router will not re- send data if an error occurs, then keep the default, Enabled. Otherwise, select Disabled.

Internet Access Priority

In this section, you can set the bandwidth priority for a variety of applications and devices. There are four levels priority: High, Medium, Normal, or Low. When you set priority, do not set all applications to High, because this will defeat the purpose of allocating the available bandwidth. If you want to select below normal bandwidth, select Low. Depending on the application, a few attempts may be needed to set the appropriate bandwidth priority.

Enabled/Disabled. To use the QoS policies you have set, select Enabled. Otherwise, select Disabled.

Category

There are four categories available. Select one of the following: Applications, Online Games, MAC Address, Ethernet Port, or Voice Device. Proceed to the instructions for your selection.

Applications

Applications. Select the appropriate application. If you select Add a New Application, follow the Add a New Application instructions.
