MAC Filtering

button appears when configuring the WAN interface in Bridging.

MAC filtering is used to block or allow various types of packets through

the WAN/LAN interface. This may be done for security or to improve

Quality of Service

QoS or Quality of Service allows your Router to help prioritize the data packet flow in your Router and network. This is very important for time

sensitive applications such as VoIP where it may help prevent dropped calls. Large amounts of non-critical data can be scaled so as not to affect

these prioritized sensitive real-time programs.

To access the

QoS – Queue Management Configuration

window, click the

Quality of Service

link in the

Advanced Setup

directory.

This window allows you to set up QoS on the Router. When you are

finished, click on the

Save/Apply

button.

To add a new QoS Queue configuration, click the

Queue Config

link.

Click the

Add

button to add a new QoS Queue Configuration table entry.

This window allows you to configure a QoS queue entry and assign it a

specific network interface.

Click the

Save/Apply

button to save and activate the filter.
