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 is enabled
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
upstream speed limit. Application You can select
None, Add a New Application,
or Voice Device or
choose from the list of applications. Selecting Online games
will display the Select a Game drop-down, which lists 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 - High, Medium, Normal or Low . Avoid
setting all applications to High, because this will defeat the purpose of
allocating the available bandwidth. If you want to select
lower-than-normal bandwidth, choose Low. Depending on
the
application, you may need to try a number of different
settings before you find the right setup.
Once you have
made your selection, click Add to add to the Summary list.

Enter a
Name Enter any name to identify the
entry.
Category Select the category on which priority should be based.
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 an application that uses ports 1000 to 1250, enter
1000-1250 . You can define up to three ranges
for bandwidth allocation. Port numbers can range from 1 to 65535.
Check your
application's user guide for details on the service ports
used.
MAC Address Enter a 12-digit hexadecimal number to represent
the device you want to set bandwidth priority. This is a
unique identifier for your network device. When the router identifies the
device entered, the router will allocate the priority set for that entry.
Check the user guide of the device to find the MAC Address.
