Active

Select this to enable bandwidth management on the WAN. Bandwidth

management applies to all traffic flowing out of the router through the WAN,

regardless of the traffic’s source.

Speed

Enter the amount of bandwidth for this interface that you want to allocate using

bandwidth management.
The recommendation is to set this speed to match the interface’s actual

transmission speed. For example, set the WAN interface speed to 1000 kbps if

your Internet connection has an upstream transmission speed of 1 Mbps.
You can set this number higher than the interface’s actual transmission speed.

This will stop lower priority traffic from being sent if higher priority traffic uses all of

the actual bandwidth.
You can also set this number lower than the interface’s actual transmission speed.

If you do not enable Max Bandwidth Usage, this will cause the ZyXEL Device to

not use some of the interface’s available bandwidth.
This field is not affected by the

Bandwidth Management Wizard

.

Scheduler

Select Priority-Based to give preference to bandwidth classes with higher

priorities. Select Fairness-Based to treat all bandwidth classes equally.

Maximize

Bandwidth Usage

Select this if you want the ZyXEL Device to divide any unallocated and unused

bandwidth among bandwidth classes that require bandwidth. Clear this if you want

to reserve bandwidth for traffic that does not match a bandwidth class or if you

want to limit the speed of this interface.
