Quality of Service

Quality of Service offers a defined level of performance in a data communications system - for example the ability to guarantee

that video traffic is given priority over other network traffic to ensure that video streaming is not disrupted by other network traffic.

This means that if you are streaming video and someone else in the house starts downloading a large file, the download won’t

disrupt the flow of video traffic.

Figure 5: Advanced - Enable QoS

To enable QoS select the Enable QoS checkbox, and set the Default DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) Mark. Then press

the Apply/Save button.
