Wireless-G Broadband Router

Applications and Gaming > QoS

Quality  of  Service  (QoS)  ensures  better  service  to 

high-priority  types  of  network  traffic,  which  may 

involve  demanding,  real-time  applications,  such  as 

videoconferencing. 
There  are  three  types  of  QoS  available:  Device  Priority, 

Ethernet Port Priority, and Application Priority.

QoS

Enable/Disable 

To enable QoS, select 

Enable

. Otherwise, 

select 

Disable

. QoS is disabled by default.

Upstream  Bandwidth 

Select 

Auto

  or 

Manual

  from 

the drop-down menu. Manual allows you to specify the 

maximum  outgoing  bandwidth  that  applications  can 

utilize.

Applications and Gaming > QoS

Device Priority

Enter the name of your network device in the 

Device name 

field,  enter  its  MAC  Address,  and  then  select  its  priority 

from the drop-down menu.

Ethernet Port Priority

Ethernet  Port  Priority  QoS  allows  you  to  prioritize 

performance for the Router’s four ports, LAN Ports 1-4. For 

each port, select the priority and flow control setting.

Priority 

Select 

High

 or 

Low

 in the Priority column. The 

Router’s  four  ports  have  been  assigned  low  priority  by 

default. 

Flow  Control 

If  you  want  the  Router  to  control  the 

transmission  of  data  between  network  devices,  select 

Enabled

. To disable this feature, select 

Disabled

. Ethernet 

Port Priority QoS does not require support from your ISP 

because the prioritized ports (LAN ports 1-4) are in your 

network. This feature is enabled by default.

Application Priority

Application  Priority  QoS  manages  information  as  it  is 

transmitted and received. Depending on the settings of 

the 

QoS

 screen, this feature will assign information a high 

or low priority for the applications that you specify.

Optimize  Gaming  Applications 

Select  this  to 

automatically  allow  common  game  application  ports 

to  have  a  higher  priority. These  games  include,  but  are 

not  limited  to: 

Counter-Strike

Half-Life

Age  of  Empires

EverQuest

Quake2

/

Quake3

,  and 

Diablo  II

.  The  default 

setting is unselected.

Application Name 

Enter the name you wish to give the 

application in the 

Application Name

 field.

Priority 

Select 

High

  or 

Low

  to  assign  priority  to  the 

application. The default selection is 

Low

.

Specific  Port  # 

Enter  the  port  number  for  the 

application.

Wireless QoS

WMM  Support 

Wi-Fi  Multimedia  (WMM),  formerly 

known  as  Wireless  Multimedia  Extensions  (WME),  is 

a  Wi-Fi  Alliance  certified  feature,  based  on  the  IEEE 

802.11e  standard. This  feature  provides  QoS  to  wireless 

networks.  It  is  especially  suitable  for  voice,  music  and 

video applications; for example, Voice over IP (VoIP), video 

streaming,  and  interactive  gaming.  If  you  have  other 

devices  on  your  wireless  network  that  support  WMM, 

select 

Enabled

. Otherwise, keep the default, 

Disabled

.

No Acknowledgement 

This feature prevents the Router 

from re-sending data if an error occurs. To use this feature, 

select 

Enabled

. Otherwise, keep the default, 

Disabled

.
