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 promised 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 for a specific computer, to avoid said unpleasing

result from happening.

3-1-1 Basic QoS Settings

Please follow the following instructions to set QoS parameters:

Please click ‘Applications and Gaming’ and then click ‘QoS’ tab at the
