Using The Traffic Manager; Managing Qos (Quality Of Service) Bandwidth - Asus RT-AC66U User Manual

3.3 Using the Traffic Manager

3.3.1 Managing QoS (Quality of Service) Bandwidth

The Quality of Service (QoS) allows you to set the bandwidth
priority and manage network traffic.
NOTES:
• The default rule sets online gaming and web surfing as the highest
priority and are not influenced by P2P applications (peer-to-peer
applications such as Bit Torrent).
• If QoS is turned off, the P2P (peer-to-peer) applications will be given
the top priority to use the upload and download bandwidths. If a
P2P application is used, you may encounter some lag during web
surfing.
To set up bandwidth priority:
1. From the navigation panel, go to General > Traffic Manager >
QoS tab.
2. Click ON to enable QoS. Fill in the upload and download
bandwidth fields.
NOTE: Get the bandwidth information from your ISP.
3. Click Save.
NOTE: The table on the screen below is for advanced settings. If you
want to prioritize specific network applications and network services,
select User-defined QoS rules or User-defined Priority from the drop-
down list on the upper-right corner.
