Optimize Traffic with QoS
You can use Quality of Service (QoS) to assign different priorities to Internet traffic, applications, and services.
The modem router provides default QoS rules.You can add custom QoS rules and manage both default
and custom QoS rules (see Manage Default and Custom QoS Rules on page 107).
We recommend that you enable QoS if you use streaming Internet. However, when QoS assigns a high
priority to streaming video, it also assigns lower priority to the rest of your Internet traffic. That means that
other tasks such as downloading content from the Internet take longer.
To view the default QoS rules with their default priorities and turn on QoS:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin.The default password is password. 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. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. The modem router assigns traffic priorities according to the QoS rules and
their priority queues.
Manage Default and Custom QoS Rules
You can add custom QoS rules and change and remove both default and custom QoS rules.You can add
QoS rules for services and applications but also for specific devices on your network.
Add a Priority Rule for a Service or Application
If the service or application for which you want to assign a traffic priority is not part of the default QoS rules,
you can add a custom QoS rule.
To add a custom QoS rule for a service or application:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin.The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
