Optimize Video Streaming with Downstream QoS

Downstream Quality of Service (QoS) assigns a high priority to Internet video streaming from websites like YouTube and Netflix.

High priority traffic

Internet

Best effort traffic

Figure 8. Downstream QoS assigns a high priority to video streaming from the Internet

NETGEAR recommends that you enable downstream QoS only if you watch streaming Internet video. When downstream QoS assigns a high priority to streaming video, it also assigns a lower priority to the rest of your Internet traffic. That means other tasks like downloading content from the Internet take longer.

To enable downstream QoS:

1.Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.

2.Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. A login screen displays.

3.Enter the router user name and password.

The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

The BASIC Home screen displays.
