Wireless

Immediate ACK   This is for normal wireless networking. This is the default setting.

Burst ACK            This is not as reliable as Immediate ACK, but provides faster    wireless networking.

No ACK               This is normally used in a multicast broadcast like video. Do not use this unless you know what you are doing.

802.11e/QoS         QoS will be enbabled by default to provide the best performance for your wireless connection. Select Disable to improve performance for a mixed wireless network.

Set Internet Bandwidth Sets the upsteam speed limit.  Application          This option you can select None, Add a New Application, Voice Device or select fom the list of applications you want to set. Selecting Online games will display the Select a Game drop-down will list a few common pre-confgured games you can select. Otherwise, select Add a New Application to create a new entry. For further information on  Add a New Application, please go to that section.

Priority                 Select the bandwidth priority for the application you selected. Select High, Medium, Normal or Low for the bandwidth you need for that application. Avoid setting all applications to high, 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 trial and error may be needed to achieve your goal.

Once you have made your selection, click Add to add to the Summary list.

Category              Select the category the priority should be based on. The options available are Port Range or MAC address. This is critical for the router to determine what category requires bandwidth priority.

Port Range          This category allows you to enter the port range the application will be using.  For example, if you want to allocate bandwidth for FTP, you can enter 21-21. If you need services for some application that uses from 1000 to 1250, you  enter 1000-1250 as your settings. You can have up to three ranges to define for  this bandwidth allocation. Port numbers can range from 1 to 65535. Check your application's user guide for details on service ports used.

MAC Address      Enter a 12 hexidecimal digit to represent the device you want to set bandwidth  priority.  This is a unique identifier for your network device. When the router identifies the deviced entered, the router will allocate the priority set for that entry. Check on the user guide of the device to obtain the MAC Address.
