III-3-7. QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) is a feature to manage

Internet bandwidth efficiently. Some applications

require more bandwidth than others to function

properly, and QoS allows you to ensure that sufficient

bandwidth is available. Minimum or maximum bandwidth can be guaranteed

for a specified application.

QoS can improve the

’s performance

. QoS is

recommended to optimize performance for online gaming.

III-3-7-2.

iQoS

iQoS is a more intuitive and automated tool to manage internet bandwidth

than manually configuring the settings using QoS. For online gamers or users

with bandwidth requirements for audio/video, iQoS is a useful function.

iQoS cannot be used in conjunction with QoS and vice-versa.

When one is enabled, the other is automatically disabled.

Check/uncheck the box “Enable iQoS” to enable/disable

the iQoS function,

and then enter your bandwidth limits and arrange the network application

icons in priority order

in the “Current iQoS Table”

. Icons with higher priority

will be assigned bandwidth more efficiently for better performance.

Total Download

Bandwidth

Enter your total download bandwidth limit

from your Internet service provider (ISP) in

kbits.

Total Upload

Bandwidth

Enter your total upload bandwidth limit from

your Internet service provider (ISP) in kbits.
