QoS Engine
Traffic Shaping
This option is enabled by default when the Traffic
Shaping option is enabled. This option will allow
your router to automatically determine the uplink
speed of your Internet connection.
This displays the detected uplink speed.
The speed at which data can be transferred from
the router to your ISP. This is determined by your
ISP. ISP’s often speed as a download/upload
pair. For example, 1.5Mbits/284Kbits. Using this
example, you would enter 284. Alternatively you
can test your uplink speed with a service such
as www.dslreports.com.
By default, the router automatically determines
whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/
Frame-relay network or some other connection
type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it
displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame
Relay Network. If you have an unusual network
connection in which you are actually connected
via xDSL but for which you configure either
“Static” or “DHCP” in the Internet settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router
will recognize that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other
Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but
gives much better results.

The QoS Engine option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications. By default the
QoS Engine settings are disabled and application priority is not classified automatically.
