Quality of Service (QoS) 

QoS allows you to control the priority that the data is 

transmitted over the Internet, or to reserve a specific 

amount of Internet bandwidth. This is to ensure that 

applications get enough Internet bandwidth for a 

pleasant user experience. 

If not, then the performance and user experience of 

time sensitive transmissions such as voice and video 

could be very poor. 

In order for this feature to function properly, the user 

should first set the Uplink and Downlink bandwidth 

provided by your Internet Service Provider. 

Total Bandwidth Settings 

Uplink: 

Set the Uplink bandwidth provided by your Internet Service Provider. 

Downlink: 

Set the Downlink bandwidth provided by your Internet Service Provider. 

Priority Queue 

Sets the QoS method to Priority Queue. 

Bandwidth 

Allocation: 

Sets the QoS method to Bandwidth Allocation. 

Disabled 

Disables the QoS feature.
