Optimize Internet Streaming with QoS
You can use Quality of Service (QoS) to assign high priority to Internet streaming,
applications, and services.

Figure 6. QoS can assign high priority to streaming from the Internet
NETGEAR recommends that you enable this feature only if you use streaming Internet.
When QoS assigns a high priority to streaming video, it also assigns lower priority to the rest
of your Internet traffic. That means other tasks like downloading content from the Internet
take longer.
To enable QoS for Internet access:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
In the address field of the web browser, enter
http://www.routerlogin.net
or
http://www.routerlogin.com
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
4.
Select
ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup
.
5.
Select the
Turn Internet Access QoS On
check box.
