AC1750 Smart WiFi Router Model R6350 Optimize Traffic With QoS You can use Quality of Service (QoS) to assign different priorities to Internet traffic, applications, and services. The router provides default QoS rules. You can add custom QoS rules and manage both default and custom QoS rules (see Manage Default and Custom QoS Rules on page 46). We recommend that you enable QoS if you use streaming Internet. However, when QoS assigns a high priority to streaming video, it also assigns lower priority to the rest of your Internet traffic. That means that other tasks such as downloading content from the Internet take longer. To view the default QoS rules with their default priorities and turn on QoS: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network. 2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net. A login window opens. 3. Enter the router user name and password. The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. 4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup. The QoS Setup page displays. If you did not add any custom rules or change priorities, the QoS rules table displays the default QoS rules and their default priority queues, from the highest queue (the leftmost column) to the lowest priority (the rightmost column). 5. Select the Turn Internet Access QoS On check box. 6. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. The router assigns traffic priorities according to the QoS rules and their priority queues.
