QoS Engine
Traffic Shaping
This option is enabled by default when the Traffic 
Shaping option is enabled. This option will allow 
your router to automatically determine the uplink 
speed of your Internet connection.
This displays the detected uplink speed.
The speed at which data can be transferred from 
the router to your ISP. This is determined by your 
ISP.  ISP’s  often  speed  as  a  download/upload 
pair. For example, 1.5Mbits/284Kbits. Using this 
example, you would enter 284. Alternatively you 
can test your uplink speed with a service such 
as www.dslreports.com.
By default, the router automatically determines 
whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/
Frame-relay network or some other connection 
type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it 
displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame 
Relay Network. If you have an unusual network 
connection in which you are actually connected 
via  xDSL  but  for  which  you  configure  either 
“Static” or “DHCP” in the Internet settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router 
will recognize that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other 
Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but 
gives much better results.

The QoS Engine option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications. By default the 
QoS Engine settings are disabled and application priority is not classified automatically.
