Appendix: Quality of Service setup example

The following Quality of Service (QoS) settings offer a basic setup example, setting up 2 devices connecting to an NF18ACV
router, one with the highest priority for data and the other with the lowest priority for data. All other data packet traffic
through the router assumes a default best effort setting.
Quality of Service refers to the reservation of bandwidth resources on the NF18ACV router to provide different priorities to
different applications, users or data flows or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow.
In this implementation, QoS employs DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point), a computer networking architecture that
specifies a simple, scalable and course-grained mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic.
This example guide sets up QoS with two devices (PC and laptop) connecting via Ethernet cable to an NF18ACV router. One
device (PC) is assigned high priority traffic while the other device (laptop) is assigned a low priority. Before Quality of Service
can be implemented, the first step involves reserving an IP address for each device, identified by their unique MAC
addresses.

Reserving IP addresses

So that QoS settings, custom NAT settings, and parental control settings can be managed for each device, it is necessary to
reserve an IP address for each of the devices connecting to the NF18ACV.
Reserved IP addresses are not required to be within the DHCP server range, however they are required to be with-in the LAN
subnet range:
1 Navigate to http://192.168.20.1
2 When prompted, enter admin as both the username and password.
3 Select Advanced Setup > LAN
