Use Dynamic QoS to Optimize Internet Traffic Management

Dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) helps improve your router's Internet traffic management capabilities through better
application and device identification, bandwidth allocation, and traffic prioritization techniques. Dynamic QoS resolves
traffic congestion when the Internet bandwidth is limited and different demands compete for bandwidth.
If your Internet download and upload speed is 250 Mbps or less and you like gaming and streaming video, then you
can benefit from enabling Dynamic QoS.
Note If you use a Gigabit Internet connection, or your Internet download and upload speed is 300
Mbps or faster, then you don't need to use Dynamic QoS.
