Once the traffic type is defined, you select a priority for the traffic type from Highest to
Lowest. You define the traffic types and set these priority levels on the Traffic Mapping
page.
Once you have defined the traffic types and their priorities, you can then allocate a minimum
bandwidth for each priority (or differentiated service group – diffserv group) to shape how
the traffic is managed on your Internet connection. You allocate the minimum bandwidths in
the Diffserv Groups page.
You can also enable and disable the WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) quality of service setting,
prioritising video and voice traffic over your Wi-Fi connection.
How to enable Quality of Service on the router

The QoS module is now enabled, you can now define the traffic types and priorities in the
Traffic Mapping page.
TRAFFIC MAPPING
The Traffic Mapping page is used to create rules for the different application traffic types
or connected computers on your network and then to assign each rule a level of prioritisation
for traffic shaping.
You can create a maximum of 16 different traffic mapping rules for Quality of Service.
To access the Traffic Mapping page:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on QoS in the left hand navigation menu to expand the quality of service menu

How to create a Quality of Service Traffic Mapping rule
To configure Quality of Service, you must configure the traffic mapping rule for the type of
traffic, or devices on your network you want to prioritise.
To create a Quality of Service traffic mapping rule:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on QoS in the left hand navigation menu to expand the quality of service menu
4.
Click on Traffic Mapping in the left hand navigation menu.
5.
Click on the Add Traffic Class link:
6.
On the Edit Traffic Class page, enter a name for the traffic mapping rule you are
creating – in this example we will call it ‘FTP’.
7.
Use the ‘Traffic Type’ dropdown to select either the type of application (Voice, Online
Games, Video), specific applications (Applications), connected devices or computer (MAC
Address, IP Address, Incoming Port) or application ports (TCP/UDP) you want the quality
of service setting to apply to. In this example we are selecting a Traffic Type of
‘Applications’ and an ‘Applications’ of ‘FTP’. See
quality of service traffic type
descriptions
on page 165 for a list of other traffic types.
8.
Select the Priority you want to give to this traffic type. There are eight priority levels
(Highest, Higher, High, Medium, Normal, Low, Lower and Lowest) to choose from. The
traffic shaping effect of the priority applied to each level will be configured in the
Diffserv Groups page. In this example we will select ‘Low’:

Click Save Settings:
10.
The traffic mapping rule has now been created and will appear in the Traffic Mapping
table:
11.
Now you can set the traffic shaping of the priority group in the Diffserv Groups page.
If you want to create a traffic mapping rule for a particular device on your local network
rather than a specific application type, select the ‘MAC Address’, ‘IP Address’ or ‘Incoming
Port’ options from the ‘Traffic Type’ dropdown. In the example below, the ‘High’ priority traffic
rule would be applied to any device connected to Ethernet Port 1.
