Applications and Gaming > QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) is a method that assigns priority
to specific types of network traffic, which often are
demanding, real-time applications, such as gaming,
videoconferencing, video streaming, and Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony. QoS helps to ensure
optimal performance for these types of uses.

QoS (Quality of Service)
Wireless
WMM Support Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a wireless
Quality of Service feature that improves quality for audio,
video, and voice applications by prioritizing wireless
traffic. To use this feature, the wireless client devices in
your network must support Wireless WMM. If you would
like to disable this feature, select Disabled. Otherwise,
keep the default, Enabled.
No Acknowledgement If you want to disable the
Router’s Acknowledgement feature, so the Router will not
re-send data if an error occurs, 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, select Disabled.
Upstream Bandwidth
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. Then enter the
appropriate value and select Kbps or Mbps.
