Optimize Traffic With QoS
You can use Quality of Service (QoS) to assign different priorities to Internet traffic, applications, and services.
The 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 48).
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 mobile device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
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.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup.
If you did not add any custom rules or change priorities, the QoS rules table displays the default QoS
rules and their default priority queues, from the highest queue (the leftmost column) to the lowest priority
(the rightmost column).
5. Select the Turn Internet Access QoS On check box.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.The router assigns traffic priorities according to the QoS rules and their priority
queues.
