Wireless

The Router features Wireless QoS. The No Acknowledgement feature is available only when the Wireless QoS Support feature is Enabled.

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

No Acknowledgement. If you want to disable the Router’s Acknowledgement feature, so the Router will not resend 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.
