.

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.

Select the protocol of the ﬁrewall port (TCP, UDP,

or Both).

The schedule of time when the Application Rule

will be enabled. The schedule may be set to Always,

which will allow the particular service to always

be enabled. You can create your own times in the

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-850L. 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-850L 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 3 - Conﬁguration

QoS Engine

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. The QoS section contains a

queuing mechanism, traﬃc shaping and classiﬁcation. It supports two kinds

of queuing mechanisms. Strict Priority Queue (SPQ) and Weighted Fair Queue

(WFQ). SPQ will process traﬃc based on traﬃc priority. Queue1 has the highest

priority and Queue4 has the lowest priority. WFQ will process traﬃc based on

the queue weight. Users can conﬁgure each queue’s weight. The sum of all the queue’s weight must be 100. When surﬁng the Internet, the system will do

traﬃc shaping based on the uplink and downlink speed. The classiﬁcation rules can be used to classify traﬃc to diﬀerent queues, then SPQ or WFQ will

do QoS based on the queue’s priority or weight.

The following parameters will be available for conﬁguration:

Enable QoS:

This option is disabled by default. Enable this option for

better performance and experience with online games and

other interactive applications, such as VoIP.

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

deﬁne 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.

Downlink Speed:

The speed at which data can be transferred from the ISP

to the router. This is determined by your ISP. ISP’s often

deﬁne speed as a download/upload pair. For example,

1.5Mbits/284Kbits.

Using this example, you would enter 1500. Alternatively

you can test your downlink speed with a service such as

www.dslreports.com.

Queue Type:

Here the user can specify the queue type used. When choosing the option Strict Priority Queue, the router will apply QoS based on the

internal speciﬁcation for the queue ID’s listed. When choosing the option Weight Fair Queue, the router will apply QoS based on the user

deﬁned percentage in the Queue Weight column.

Queue ID:

In this column the Queue ID used will be displayed.

Name:

Enter a custom name for the rule being created here.

This name is used for identiﬁcation.

Queue ID:

Select the appropriate priority requirement from the

drop-down menu that will be applied to this rule. Op-

tion to choose from are Highest, Higher, Normal, and

Best Eﬀort.

Protocol:

Select the protocol used for the application for in the

drop-down menu and it will automatically place it in

Local IP Range:

Enter the local IP range used here. This is the IP range

of you Local Area Network. The Router’s IP cannot be

included in this range.

Remote IP

Range:

Enter the remote IP range used here. This is the IP

range of the public network from the Internet Port

side. To apply this rule to any IP addresses from the

public side, enter the range 0.0.0.1 to 255.255.255.254.

Application

Port:

Enter the application port number used here.

Click on the

button to accept the changes made.

Click on the

button to discard the changes made.

After specifying the QoS framework used, in the QoS setup section, the user can now create individual rules for scenarios that require the use of

traﬃc control and data priority manipulation.

Queue Priority:

In this column the Queue Priority used will be displayed.

Queue Weight:

After choosing to use the Weight Fair Queue option, under Queue Type, the user will be able to manual enter

the Queue Weight for each individual Queue ID.
