LAN Setting – Ethernet Port Setting
This allows you to configure the settings for the router’s Ethernet ports to solve some of the compatibility
problems that may be encountered while connecting to the Internet, as well allowing users to tweak the
performance of their network.

to solve compatibility issues. The default is

IPv4 TOS priority
Control (Advanced
users)
TOS, Type of Services, is the 2
nd
octet of an IP packet. Bits 6-7 of this octet
are reserved and bit 0-2 are used to specify the priority (precedence) of the
packet, and bits 3-5 are specified the delay, throughput and reliability.
Set High Priority
TOS
This feature uses bits 0-2 to classify the packet’s priority. If the packet is high
priority, it will flow first. Therefore, when this feature is enabled, the router’s
Ethernet switch will check the 2
nd
octet of each IP packet. If the value in the
Precedence of TOS field matches the checked values in the table (0 to 7), this
packet will be treated as high priority.
