By default, no bandwidth minimum has been applied for any of the Diffserv Groups, meaning
that a traffic mapping rule associated with a particular level will not be shaped (and will
achieve the maximum available bandwidth available over the network).
To apply bandwidth prioritisation for any of the Diffserv Groups:
1. Login to the router's admin pages.
2. Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the 'Please proceed with
caution' page.
3. Click on QoS in the left hand navigation menu to expand the quality of service menu
4. Click on Diffserv Groups in the left hand navigation menu.
5. If you are using EE Fibre Broadband, set the 'Maximum Upstream Bandwidth' value to the
correct setting for the upload speed of your Fibre service. To help determine your upload
speed, you can run a Broadband speedtest online. In this example we will assume a 20
Mbps upload speed:
Please note that EE ADSL broadband users will not need to enter a 'Maximum Upstream
Bandwidth', this is determined automatically.
6. Select a group you wish to apply bandwidth shaping to, this may be one that you had
applied to a traffic mapping rule you created on page 163 earlier.. In this example we will
update the 'Low' group for the 'FTP' rule we previously created.
7. In the 'guarantee minimal bandwidth' field, enter the percentage bandwidth you want to
guarantee to the group. This means that if you normally have 1 Mbps of uplink transfer
speed, and you set the 'Low' group to 20%, then you will be guaranteed last least 0.2
Mbps (200Kbps) transfer speeds for any traffic mapping rule using the 'Low' diffserv
group.
In this example we will enter '20' in the 'Low' group, to guarantee 20% of the available
bandwidth.
8. Optional: If you want to allow more bandwidth for a traffic mapping rule if extra
bandwidth is available (for example, if no other traffic types are using the available
bandwidth at the time), tick the 'allow more' box.
