Internet. Quality of Service (QoS) technology allows the DI-704GU to improve the quality of VoIP calls. VoIP and applications like video streaming are real-time sensitive and require more bandwidth. The DI-704GU uses an intelligent QoS engine to automatically detect and prioritize bandwidth-sensitive packets so that they can be sent over the Internet as soon as a request is made, which results in faster processing of real-time based packets, less latency, greater reliability, and a better user experience.

2.What happens if the router loses power due to a blackout or other power interruption? Unless power is lost during a firmware upgrade, a power loss will cause the DI-704GU to maintain all settings at their last saved value. Any unsaved changes will be lost and prior values restored. Power loss during a firmware upgrade (that is, when the firmware is actually being changed) will cause a loss of the entire management system and the router will need to be returned for service.
Check Your IP Address After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. the DI-704GU router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties. ® Step 2 Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter and select Properties. Step 3 Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. Step 4 Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN IP address on your router.
