Optimize Video Streaming with Downstream QoS
Downstream Quality of Service (QoS) assigns a high priority to Internet video streaming from
websites like YouTube and Netflix.
Figure 8. Downstream QoS assigns a high priority to video streaming from the Internet
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 a 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 an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2. T
ype http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin.
The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
