Optimize Traffic with QoS

You can use Quality of Service (QoS) to assign different priorities to Internet traffic, applications, and services. The
modem 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
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 WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup.
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.
