Enter the port that you want to open next to Private

Port and Public Port. The private and public ports

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-660. 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-660 provides some predefined applications in the table on the bottom of the web page. Select the application

you want to use and enable it.

Section ² - Configuration

QoS Engine

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 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 QoS

Engine 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.

The QoS Engine option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications. By default the

QoS Engine settings are disabled and application priority is not classified automatically.

Section ² - Configuration

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:
