3-1 Quality of Service (QoS)

Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network to

share the internet bandwidth with a preset connection quality of internet

service. Without QoS, all computers and devices on the network will compete

with each other to get internet bandwidth, and some applications which require

guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network telephone) will be

affected, therefore an unpleasing result will occur, like the interruption of video

/ audio transfer.

With this function, you can limit the maximum bandwidth or give a guaranteed

bandwidth to a specific user.

This tool is very useful for bandwidth

management for the network administrator.

3-1-1 Basic QoS Settings
