Powerline Network Adapter

 Apply changes to all adapters found: Clicking “Save” with the option
disabled applies the QoS settings to current adapter while Clicking
“Save” with the option enabled applies the QoS settings to all adapters
discovered on the network and authenticated by the Utility.
 Save: Click it to save settings to corresponding adapter.
 Cancel: When clicked, current settings will not be saved.
Tips
1. The default QoS policy for the device includes 8 ToS rules and 1 IP multicast rule,
which will be deleted if the QoS‐Quick Setup functionality is activated.
2. You can only apply a single option in Quick Setup to an adapter at a time. When
you switch from one option to another, the former will be deactivated
automatically.
3. Activating application/service under QoS‐Quick Setup does not remove existing
MAC/IP based QoS entry.
4. There is a limit on the number of configurable QoS entries for each data type:
up to 14 entries respectively for MAC address based data (Eth Source Address+
Eth Dest Address) and IP address based data (IPv4 Source Address + IPv4 Dest
address), up to 8 entries for IPv4 Precedence, and 16 entries for port based data
(TCP Source Port + TCP Dest Port + UDP Source Port + UDP Dest Port). Errors will
be reported when configured entries exceed limit and such entries will not be
saved.
5. The QoS feature does not increase your existing bandwidth. It prioritizes
specified data over your existing bandwidth.
6. Advantages of the QoS feature are typically seen on congested networks.
Normally, Powerline network is not confronted with congestion as Powerline
transmission rate reaches up to 200M while most Internet connection rates are
about 20M at most and yet shared by multiple users. So, you may not
experience obviously tremendous benefits from your QoS settings if you are
enjoying a smooth network.
7. If you set a PC’s MAC priority level to “0”, IP priority to “2” and enabled Surfing
priority in QoS‐‐Quick Setup section, then adapter will consider the MAC priority
of “0” a currently valid priority for packets received from such PC when deciding
which packets to prioritize as it checks MAC > IP > ToS > Port successively in
matching priority.
