Qos - Eusso Wireless-N 4-Port Router User Manual

QoS

QoS or Quality of Service is used to assign priority for qualified traffic that passes through the
Router. The QoS menu includes options for applications that optimizing QoS settings for the
ports relevant to common applications such as Skype or online gaming. The QoS menu also
allows customized bandwidth settings (upstream/downstream) for specific devices.
QoS menu
QoS is disabled by default. To use QoS, first enable it by selecting the Manual or Auto Smart
QoS option. Choosing the Auto Smart QoS option does not require any additional configuration.
It will automatically optimize QoS according to the type of data stream. Choose the Auto Smart
QoS option on traffic diverse networks that already support QoS priority in other devices such a
managed switches. You might also try the Auto Smart option and test various applications for
performance, then if necessary enter QoS settings manually. Use the Manual option if you want
to specify bandwidth for a devices or devices on the network. Bandwidth settings can also be
configured using the Auto Smart option, the bandwidth settings will be applied globally and not to
any specific device (IP address).
To configure a individual IP address for a pre-configured (from the list) application QoS, choose
the online game or application first to place the port and priority values in the entry fields, then
change the Category to Customized to specify the IP address.
See the table below for a description of the QoS menu parameters.
NOTE: Be aware that changing QoS settings can enhance the performance of specific
applications at the expense of other applications. Monitoring network performance is a good
idea following changes to QoS settings on networks with high traffic volume or diverse network
applications, to determine if the new QoS settings are affecting other applications.
