or TCP/UDP (BOTH) traffic.
Incoming Port
Select this option to assign a Quality of Service rule
to traffic from a device connected to the router
either by Ethernet (Ethernet Ports 1-4) or over the
wireless LAN (SSID 1-3).
DIFFSERV GROUPS
The Diffserv Groups page is used to configure the levels of traffic prioritisation for Quality
of Service traffic shaping. Once you have defined the traffic types (or devices) you want to
shape on the traffic mapping page, you need to decide how much bandwidth you will apply
to the prioritisation.
To access the Diffserv Groups 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
4.
Click on Diffserv Groups in the left hand navigation menu:
How to apply bandwidth prioritisation for Diffserv Groups
As you can see from the Diffserv Groups page, there are eight levels of traffic prioritisation
(known as Diffserv Groups):
Page 167 / 207
EE Bright Box User Manual
167
•
Highest
•
Higher
•
High
•
Medium
•
Normal
•
Low
•
Lower
•
Lowest
By default, no bandwidth minimum has been applied for any of the Diffserv Groups, meaning
that a traffic mapping rule associated with a particular level will not be shaped (and will
achieve the maximum available bandwidth available over the network).
To apply bandwidth prioritisation for any of the Diffserv Groups:
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 Diffserv Groups in the left hand navigation menu.

If you are using EE Fibre Broadband, set the ‘Maximum Upstream Bandwidth’ value to the
correct setting for the upload speed of your Fibre service. To help determine your upload
speed, you can run a Broadband speedtest online. In this example we will assume a 20
Mbps upload speed:
Please note that EE ADSL broadband users will not need to enter a ‘Maximum Upstream
Bandwidth’, this is determined automatically.
6.
Select a group you wish to apply bandwidth shaping to, this may be one that you had
applied to a
traffic mapping rule you created on page 163 earlier.. In this example we will
update the ‘Low’ group for the ‘FTP’ rule we previously created.
7.
In the ‘guarantee minimal bandwidth’ field, enter the percentage bandwidth you want to
guarantee to the group. This means that if you normally have 1 Mbps of uplink transfer
speed, and you set the ‘Low’ group to 20%, then you will be guaranteed last least 0.2
Mbps (200Kbps) transfer speeds for any traffic mapping rule using the ‘Low’ diffserv
group.
In this example we will enter ‘20’ in the ‘Low’ group, to guarantee 20% of the available
bandwidth.
8.
Optional: If you want to allow more bandwidth for a traffic mapping rule if extra
bandwidth is available (for example, if no other traffic types are using the available
bandwidth at the time), tick the ‘allow more’ box.

The bandwidth prioritisation for the diffserv group is now set. If you have already created
the traffic mapping rule on the Traffic Mapping page, and have enabled the Quality of
Service module on the QoS page, then you will find that Quality of Service settings will
be applied to your selected traffic type or device.
You may wish to configure the bandwidth for all of the Diffserv Groups, if so ensure that
the total percentage for all groups in the ‘guarantee minimal bandwidth’ column does not
exceed 100%.
WMM
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a feature used by the Bright Box router providing Quality of
Service for multimedia applications on the router's wireless network. This can improve
performance when using services such as voice over IP (VoIP), video streaming, audio and
online gaming by automatically prioritising traffic in these categories over other traffic types.
To take full advantage of WMM, both the router and the client device or computer need to
support WMM, as do the applications making use of the video or voice traffic. If the client
device does not support WMM, traffic priority is managed with the standard ‘best effort’
method.
To enable WMM functionality on the router:
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 WMM in the left hand navigation menu:

On the ‘WMM Support’ option select ‘Enable’ and click Save Settings.

If you have not already enabled the Quality of Service module, you will need to do so.

UPNP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a technology that offers seamless operation of online
gaming, video messaging, and other applications that are UPnP compliant.
Applications such as online games, peer-to-peer file sharing and instant messaging require
the router's firewall to be configured in a specific way to work correctly which normally
means setting up port forwarding or triggering manually. An application that is UPnP
compliant has the ability to communicate with the Bright Box Wireless Router, automatically
configuring the router firewall and removing the need to do this manually.
UPnP is enabled on the Bright Box Wireless Router by default meaning that UPnP compliant
applications and devices will work correctly on your home network as soon as they are
connected to the router.
