QoS
Quality of Service(QoS) ensures better service to high-priority types of network traffic, which may involve demanding, real-time applications, such as videoconferenceing.
There are two types of QoS, Application-based and Port based.
Enabled/Disabled. To use QoS, Select Enabled. if you do not want to use QoS, keep the default, Disabled.
Application-based QoS
Application-based QoS manages information as it is transmitted and received. Depending on the settings of the QoS screen, this feature will assign infromation a high or low priority for the five preset applications and three additional applications that you specify. For each application, select High priority or Low Priority. If you select Disable, then QoS will be disabled for that application.
Specify Port#. You can add three additional applications by entering their respective application port numbers in the Specify Port #
Port-based QoS
Port-based QoS allows you to prioritize performance for four of the Router's ports, LAN Ports 1-4. For each of these ports, select High Priority or Low Priority. If you select Disable, then QoS will be disabled for that port. The Router's other four ports will be automatically assigned low priority.
Enter all the values and click Save Settings to save the information. To Cancel the changes, click Cancel Changes.
For most users, the default values for the Router should be satisfactory. The Router can be used in most network environments without changing any of the values.
