QoS Setup

Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that you can use to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of others. The router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet connection. You use the QoS Setup screen to set up QoS features.

The following sections describe the QoS features.

Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service for Wireless Traffic

The router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four access categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client running that application need to have WMM enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and applications that do not require QoS are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video.

WMM QoS is enabled by default, and the Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings check box is selected. NETGEAR recommends that you leave this setting as it is for full 802.11n wireless rate support. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen by clearing this check box and clicking the Apply button.

Optimize Internet Gaming with Upstream QoS

Upstream Quality of Service (QoS) assigns high priority to Internet traffic from your Xbox gaming system

NETGEAR recommends that only gamers enable the Upstream QoS feature. If you do not game and you turn on this feature, some applications might not perform as well as usual.

To enable upstream 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.
