Q-button in the Home Mode

The Q-button is a user friendly design. It provides a basic bandwidth management method with
just one push. The end user can enjoy smooth Internet applications without any hassles.
Q-button, Q-button LED and Q-button icon
The Q-button is on the front panel with an LED above the button and an icon in the upper right corner of the
UI indicating its current status. The default is 'off". When the Q-button is off (shown in Fig. 2), the green LED
is off and the icon is grayed out. When the Q-button is on (shown in Fig. 2), the green LED is on and the
icon turns yellow.

If no bandwidth management configuration by the UI or Utility:
When the button is pushed on without any bandwidth management configurations, the router distributes the
available bandwidth provided by the ISP evenly to the min. rate of bandwidth of each PC on the LAN. The
max. rate of each PC is 100% of the available bandwidth provided by the ISP.
