GameFuel

This option is disabled by default. Enable this option for

better performance and experience with online games

and other interactive applications, such as VoIP.

This option is enabled by default. This will allow your

router to automatically determine the network priority

of running programs.

This option should be enabled when you have a slow

Internet uplink. It helps to reduce the impact that large

low priority network packets can have on more urgent

ones.

This option is enabled by default when the GameFuel

option is enabled. This option will allow your router

to automatically determine the uplink speed of your

Internet connection.

This displays the detected uplink speed.

The speed at which data can be transferred from the

router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP.

ISP’s often speed as a download/upload pair. For

example, 1.5Mbits/284Kbits. Using this example, you

would enter 284. Alternatively you can test your uplink

speed with a service such as www.dslreports.com.

Section ³ - Conﬁguration

By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some

other connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network.

If you have an unusual network connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you conﬁgure either

“Static” or “DHCP” in the Internet settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router

will recognize that it needs to shape trafﬁc slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other

Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but

gives much better results.

When Connection Type is set to automatic, the automatically detected connection type is displayed here.

Detected xDSL:
