ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
3 ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
3.1 Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network to share
the Internet bandwidth with a promised quality of Internet service. Without QoS,
all computers and devices on the network compete with each other to get Internet
bandwidth, and some applications which require guaranteed bandwidth (like video
streaming and network telephone) are affected negatively, resulting in an interruption
of video/audio transfers. QoS allows you to limit the maximum bandwidth or grant
a guaranteed bandwidth for a specific computer or network service port.
3.1.1 Basic QoS Settings
Click “QoS” on the left of the Web management interface.
Enable QoS— Check to enable the function; uncheck if you prefer not to enforce
QoS bandwidth limitations.
Total Download Bandwidth — You can set the limit of total download bandwidth in
kilobits. To disable the download bandwidth limitation, enter “0.”
Total Upload Bandwidth — You can set the limit of total upload bandwidth in kilobits.
To disable the upload bandwidth limitation, enter “0.” NOTE: Both Total Download
and Total Upload bandwidths should be specified according to the maximum
performance of your Internet service. If you’re not sure about these numbers,
contact your ISP. QoS can only be effective if accurate information is provided.
