Optimize Video Streaming with Downstream QoS

Downstream QoS prioritizes Internet traffic from the Internet to your network. This delivers
better performance when you stream Internet video, such as when you watch YouTube
videos.

NETGEAR recommends that you enable downstream QoS only if you watch streaming
Internet video. When downstream QoS assigns a high priority to streaming video, it also
assigns lower priority to the rest of your Internet traffic. That means other tasks like
downloading content from the Internet take longer.
To enable downstream QoS:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
