This is the port used to trigger the application. It

can be either a single port or a range of ports.

Select the protocol of the trigger port (TCP,

UDP, or Both).

This is the port number on the Internet side

that will be used to access the application. You

may deﬁne a single port or a range of ports.

You can use a comma to add multiple ports or

port ranges.

Application Rules

Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony and

others. These applications have difﬁculties working through NAT (Network Address Translation). Special Applications

makes some of these applications work with the DIR-628. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections,

specify the port normally associated with an application in the “Trigger Port” ﬁeld, select the protocol type as TCP or

UDP, then enter the ﬁrewall (public) ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound trafﬁc.

The DIR-628 provides some predeﬁned applications in the table on the bottom of the web page. Select the application

you want to use and enable it.

QoS Engine

Check to enable Trafﬁc Shaping.

This option is enabled by default when the Trafﬁc

Shaping 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.

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.

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.
