Manage Bandwidth Allocation

The router supports a Quality of Service (QoS) feature that lets you prevent network
congestion by controlling the total bandwidth and allocating bandwidth to either specific
types of applications or specific devices.

Prevent Network Congestion With Congestion Control

If you enable congestion control, the router can prevent network congestion and queuing
delays caused by applications or devices that consume a lot of bandwidth. You can set
the maximum percentage of the total bandwidth that bandwidth-intensive applications
or devices can consume. This allows bandwidth to remain available for applications or
devices that consume less bandwidth.
To enable and configure congestion control:
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 admin 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 Dashboard displays.
4. Select QoS.
