  • Page 1 Quality of Service Setup Guide (NB6Plus4Wn)
  • Page 2 The following Quality of Service (QoS) settings offer a basic setup example, setting up 3 devices connecting to an NB6Plus4Wn router, one with the highest priority QoS priority data traffic, one with medium priority QoS priority data traffic and the other with the lowest priority QoS priority data traffic flow. All other data packet traffic through the router assumes a default best effort setting.
  • Page 3 QoS Setup Part 1: Reserving an IP address It is necessary to reserve an IP address for a device that is connecting to the NB6Plus4Wn router so that the QoS settings can manage each device and set data packet traffic priority by MAC and IP address.
  • Page 4 5. Enter the MAC address of the computer/device you are connecting to the router. The MAC address is a 12 character set of numbers and letters (A-F), with every 2 characters separated by a colon. 6. Enter the IP address of the computer/device. This is the local address in the range of 192.168.1.x where x = 2 to 254.
  • Page 5 8. Complete steps 4 through 7 for each device connected to the NB6 series router. Each entry will be listed in the Static IP Lease List as shown below.
