Creating a Guest Network
The Guest Network provides temporary visitors with Internet
connectivity via access to separate SSIDs or networks without
providing access to your private network.
NOTE:
RT-AC68R supports up to six SSIDs (three 2.4GHz and three 5GHz
SSIDs).
To create a guest network:
1. From the navigation panel, go to
General
>
Guest Network
.
2. On the Guest Network screen, select 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz frequency
band for the guest network that you want to create.
3. Click
Enable
.

Using the Traffic Manager
3.3.1 Managing QoS (Quality of Service) Bandwidth
Quality of Service (QoS) allows you to set the bandwidth priority
and manage network traffic.
To set up bandwidth priority:
1. From the navigation panel, go to
General
>
Traffic Manager
>
QoS
tab.
2. Click
ON
to enable QoS. Fill in the upload and download
bandwidth fields.
NOTE:
Get the bandwidth information from your ISP.
3. Click
Save
.
NOTE:
The User Specify Rule List is for advanced settings. If you want
to prioritize specific network applications and network services, select
User-defined QoS rules
or
User-defined Priority
from the drop-down
list on the upper-right corner.

4. On the
user-defined QoS rules
page, there are four default
online service types – web surf, HTTPS and file transfers.
Select your preferred service, fill in the
Source IP or MAC
,
Destination Port
,
Protocol
,
Transferred
and
Priority
, then
click
Apply
. The information will be configured in the QoS rules
screen.
NOTES
To fill in the source IP or MAC, you can:
a)
Enter a specific IP address, such as "192.168.122.1".
b)
Enter IP addresses within one subnet or within the same IP
pool, such as “192.168.123.*”, or “192.168.*.*”
c)
Enter all IP addresses as “*.*.*.*” or leave the field blank.
d)
The format for the MAC address is six groups of two
hexadecimal digits, separated by colons (:), in transmission
order (e.g. 12:34:56:aa:bc:ef)
For source or destination port range, you can either:
a)
Enter a specific port, such as “95”.
b)
Enter ports within a range, such as “103:315”, “>100”, or
“<65535”.
The
Transferred
column contains information about the upstream
and downstream traffic (outgoing and incoming network traffic) for
one section. In this column, you can set the network traffic limit (in
KB) for a specific service to generate specific priorities for the service
assigned to a specific port. For example, if two network clients, PC
1 and PC 2, are both accessing the Internet (set at port 80), but PC 1
exceeds the network traffic limit due to some downloading tasks, PC
1 will have a lower priority. If you do not want to set the traffic limit,
leave it blank.

5. On the
User-defined Priority
page, you can prioritize the
network applications or devices into five levels from the
user-
defined QoS rules
’ dropdown list. Based on priority level, you
can use the following methods to send data packets:
• Change the order of upstream network packets that are sent
to the Internet.
• Under
Upload Bandwidth
table, set
Minimum Reserved
Bandwidth
and
Maximum Bandwidth Limit
for multiple
network applications with different priority levels. The
percentages indicate the upload bandwidth rates that are
available for specified network applications.
NOTES:
Low-priority packets are disregarded to ensure the transmission of
high-priority packets.
Under
Download Bandwidth
table, set
Maximum Bandwidth
Limit
for multiple network applications in corresponding order.
The higher priority upstream packet will cause the higher priority
downstream packet.
If there are no packets being sent from high-priority applications, the
full transmission rate of the Internet connection is available for low-
priority packets.
6. Set the highest priority packet. To ensure a smooth online
gaming experience, you can set ACK, SYN, and ICMP as the
highest priority packet.
NOTE:
Ensure to enable QoS first and set up the upload and download
rate limits.
