No Acknowledgement If you want to disable the
Router’s Acknowledgement feature, so the Router will
not re-send data if an error occurs, then select Enabled .

Internet Access Priority
In this section, you can set the bandwidth priority for a
variety of applications and devices . There are four levels
of priority: High, Medium, Normal, or Low . When you
set priority, do not set all applications to High, because
this will defeat the purpose of allocating the available
bandwidth . If you want to select below normal bandwidth,
select Low . Depending on the application, a few attempts
may be needed to set the appropriate bandwidth priority .
Enabled/Disabled To use the QoS policies you set, select
Enabled . Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled .
Category
You can define the Internet access priority level for as
many categories as you want . The Summary section will
display all of the priority selections that you enter . Select
from the following categories:
• Applications Allows you to assign a priority level for a
pre-defined application or one that you add .
• Online Games Allows you to assign a priority level for
a pre-defined game or one that you add .
• MAC Address This option lets you prioritize network
traffic based on the device that is accessing the
network . For example, if you want your gaming
console to have higher priority accessing the Internet
than your computer, you can assign their priority levels
using their respective MAC addresses .
• Ethernet Port This option allows you to prioritize
traffic connected to a specific Ethernet port . For
example, you can assign a higher priority level to the
computer connected to port 1 .
• Voice Device Voice devices require a higher priority
level . You can assign a higher priority level to voice
devices using their respective MAC addresses .
