queued. However, situations might exist in which you want to disable the Anti-Bufferbloat
feature.
To disable the Anti-Bufferbloat feature:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Select QoS.
5. In the Anti-Bufferbloat pane, move the buttons on the Download and Upload sliders
all the way to the right, to 100 percent.
The Anti-Bufferbloat feature is now disabled.
Allocate Bandwidth to Devices
Some devices on your network need more bandwidth than others. For example, a device
that you use for gaming or media streaming requires more bandwidth than a device
that is mostly used for browsing and emails. You can allocate a percentage of the total
router bandwidth to each of the devices on your network. Doing so guarantees
bandwidth for a device when it needs it.
You can set different allocations for upload and download bandwidths.
By default, the router automatically allocates excess (unused) bandwidth to a device
that needs it. Although we do not recommend it, you can disable this option so that the
router does not share unused bandwidth across your network and the bandwidth that
you allocate to each device is the maximum bandwidth that the device can use.
To allocate bandwidth to devices:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
