For information about bandwidth utilization by device and application, see Display
the devices currently on the access point network and change device information
on page 154.
Enable QoS and manually set the Internet
bandwidth
If you enable QoS, we recommend that you use the automatic method to set the Internet
download and upload speed for the access point (see Enable QoS and automatically
set the Internet bandwidth on page 100). However, you can also manually set the Internet
bandwidth.
Note the following about manual configuration:
•
Do not set the bandwidth higher than the actual bandwidth because it causes dynamic
QoS to become ineffective.
•
If you set the bandwidth lower than the actual bandwidth, the access point
underutilizes the available bandwidth.
To enable QoS and manually set the Internet download and upload bandwidth:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
access point network.
2.
Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the
access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not
know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot
use routerlogin.net on page 27.
A login window displays.
If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 30.
3. Enter the access point local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4.
Select BASIC > Quality of Service.
