Optimize Video Streaming with Downstream QoS
Downstream Quality of Service (QoS) assigns a high priority to Internet video streaming from
websites like YouTube and Netflix.

Figure 8. Downstream QoS assigns a high priority to video streaming from the Internet
NETGEAR recommends that you enable downstream QoS only if you watch streaming
Internet video. When downstream QoS assigns a high priority to streaming video, it also
assigns a lower priority to the rest of your Internet traffic. That means other tasks like
downloading content from the Internet take longer.
To enable downstream QoS:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
http://www.routerlogin.net
or
http://www.routerlogin.com
.
A login screen displays.
3.
