Configuring QoS for Internet Access
You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic:
•
For specific applications
•
For specific online games
•
On individual Ethernet LAN ports of the router
•
From a specific device by MAC address
To specify prioritization of traffic, you must create a policy for the type of traffic and add the
policy to the QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen. For convenience, the QoS Policy table lists
many common applications and online games that can benefit from QoS handling.
