R6300 WiFi Router 802.11ac Dual Band Gigabit Quality of Service (QoS) Setup QoS is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of others. The R6300 WiFi Router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet connection. To configure QoS, use the QoS Setup screen. Select Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup to display the following screen: Enable WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications The R6300 WiFi Router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four access categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client running that application have to have WMM enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and applications that do not require QoS, are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video. WMM QoS is enabled by default. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen by clearing the Enable WMM check box and clicking Apply. Set Up QoS for Internet Access You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic: • Specific applications • Specific online games • Individual Ethernet LAN ports of the router • A specific device by MAC address To specify prioritization of traffic, create a policy for the type of traffic and add the policy to the QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen. For convenience, the QoS Policy table lists many common applications and online games that can benefit from QoS handling. Genie Advanced Home 40

Quality of Service (QoS) Setup
QoS is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of
others. The R6300 WiFi Router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on
the Internet connection. To configure QoS, use the QoS Setup screen.
Select
Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup
to display the following screen:
Enable WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications
The R6300 WiFi Router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to
prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides
prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four access
categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the
benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client running that application have to have WMM
enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and applications that do not require
QoS, are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and
video.
WMM QoS is enabled by default. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen by clearing the
Enable WMM
check box and clicking
Apply
.
Set Up QoS for Internet Access
You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic:
•
Specific applications
•
Specific online games
•
Individual Ethernet LAN ports of the router
•
A specific device by MAC address
To specify prioritization of traffic, create a policy for the type of traffic and add the policy to the
QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen. For convenience, the QoS Policy table lists many
common applications and online games that can benefit from QoS handling.
