DESCRIPTION
Select the Enable check box to turn on QoS to improve your network performance.
Enter the amount of upstream bandwidth for the WAN interfaces that you want to allocate using
QoS.
The recommendation is to set this speed to match the interfaces' actual transmission speed. For
example, set the WAN interfaces' speed to 100000 kbps if your Internet connection has an
upstream transmission speed of 100 Mbps.
You can set this number higher than the interfaces' actual transmission speed. The SBG uses up
to 95% of the DSL port's actual upstream transmission speed even if you set this number higher
than the DSL port's actual transmission speed.
You can also set this number lower than the interfaces' actual transmission speed. This will cause
the SBG to not use some of the interfaces' available bandwidth.
If you leave this field blank, the SBG automatically sets this number to be 95% of the WAN
interfaces' actual upstream transmission speed.
