Optimize Internet Streaming With QoS

You can use Quality of Service (QoS) to assign high priority to Internet streaming,
applications, and services.
We recommend that you enable this feature only if you use streaming Internet. When
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.

Turn On Internet Access QoS

To enable Dynamic QoS:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup.
The QoS Setup page displays.
5. Select the Turn Internet Access QoS On check box.
6. Select the Turn Bandwidth Control On check box.
7. Specify the bandwidth settings:
• Uplink bandwidth Maximum. If you know the bandwidth of your Internet
connection, select this radio button and enter bandwidth in the Uplink bandwidth
Maximum field.
• Automatically check Internet Uplink bandwidth. We recommend that you use
Speedtest to detect your Internet bandwidth.
To use Speedtest, do the following:
a. For more accurate Speedtest results, make sure that no other devices are
accessing the Internet.
b. Select the Automatically check Internet Uplink bandwidth radio button.
c. Click the Check button.
Speedtest determines your Internet bandwidth.
