LABEL DESCRIPTION
QoS Select the Enable check box to turn on QoS to improve your network performance.
WAN Managed 
Upstream 
Bandwidth
Enter the amount of upstream bandwidth for the WAN interfaces that you want to allocate using 
QoS.
The recommendation is to set this speed to match the interfaces’ actual transmission speed. For 
example, set the WAN interfaces’ speed to 100000 kbps if your Internet connection has an 
upstream transmission speed of 100 Mbps.
You can set this number higher than the interfaces’ actual transmission speed. The Zyxel Device 
uses up to 95% of the DSL port’s actual upstream transmission speed even if you set this number 
higher than the DSL port’s actual transmission speed.
You can also set this number lower than the interfaces’ actual transmission speed. This will cause 
the Zyxel Device to not use some of the interfaces’ available bandwidth.
If you leave this field blank, the Zyxel Device automatically sets this number to be 95% of the 
WAN interfaces’ actual upstream transmission speed.
LAN Managed 
Downstream 
Bandwidth
Enter the amount of downstream bandwidth for the LAN interfaces (including WLAN) that you 
want to allocate using QoS.
The recommendation is to set this speed to match the WAN interfaces’ actual transmission 
speed. For example, set the LAN managed downstream bandwidth to 100000 kbps if you use a 
100 Mbps wired Ethernet WAN connection.
You can also set this number lower than the WAN interfaces’ actual transmission speed. This will 
cause the Zyxel Device to not use some of the interfaces’ available bandwidth.
If you leave this field blank, the Zyxel Device automatically sets this to the LAN interfaces’ 
maximum supported connection speed.
