No Acknowledgement If you want to disable the Router's Acknowledgement option, so the Router will not re-send data if an error occurs, then select Enabled. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled. 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. Upstream Bandwidth This option sets the maximum outgoing bandwidth that applications can use. To allow the Router to set the maximum, keep the default, Auto. To specify the maximum, select Manual and enter the bandwidth. 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. •• Voice Device Voice devices require a higher priority level. You can assign a higher priority level to voice devices using their respective MAC addresses. Summary This lists the QoS entries you have created for your applications and devices.
