3. You can hide the ESSID of this router by set ‘Broadcast ESSID’ option to ‘Disable’. Your wireless router will not be found by
other people in proximity if they’re just using the AP scanning function of their wireless client, and this can reduce the
chance of being intruded.
4. Use ‘Access Control’ function described in section 2-7-4, so those people who are not in your list will not be able to
connect to your network.
CHAPTER III: 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 will compete with each other to get internet
bandwidth, and some applications which require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network telephone) will be
affected, therefore an unpleasing result will occur, like the interruption of video / audio transfer.
With this function, you can limit the maximum bandwidth or give a guaranteed bandwidth for a specific computer, to avoid said
unpleasing result from happening.
