Optimize Traffic with Internet Access QoS
You can use Quality of Service (QoS) rules to assign different priorities to Internet traffic,
applications, services, and devices on your LAN. The modem router provides default QoS
rules. You add custom QoS rules and manage both default and custom QoS rules (see
Manage Default and Custom QoS Rules
on page
144).
NETGEAR recommends that you enable Internet access QoS only if you use streaming
Internet. When Internet access QoS assigns a high priority to streaming video, it also assigns
lower priority to the rest of your Internet traffic. That means that other tasks such as
downloading content from the Internet take longer.
To enable Internet access QoS:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
4.
Click the
OK
button.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
5.
Select
ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup
.
6.
Select the
Turn Internet Access QoS On
check box.

Specify the uplink bandwidth settings by doing one of the following:
If you know the uplink bandwidth of your Internet connection, type it in the
Uplink
bandwidth Maximum
field.
If you are not sure, click the
SpeedTest
button.
The speed test checks your uplink bandwidth and automatically enters the detected
uplink bandwidth in the
Uplink bandwidth Maximum
field.

Manage Default and Custom QoS Rules
QoS rules apply when you enable Internet access QoS (see
Optimize Traffic with Internet
Access QoS
on page
143).
You can add custom QoS rules and change and remove both default and custom QoS rules.
You can add QoS rules for services and applications but also for specific devices on your
network.
You can set up custom rules for the following components:
Application or online game (see
Create a Custom QoS Rule for an Application or Online
Game
on page
145)
Ethernet LAN port of the modem router (see
Create a Custom QoS Rule for a Modem
Router LAN Port
on page
147)
Device on the LAN by MAC address (see
Create a Custom QoS Rule for a MAC Address
on page
148)
View the Default QoS Rules
The modem router provides default QoS rules for common applications and games.
To view the default QoS rules:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
4.
Click the

Create a Custom QoS Rule for an Application or Online Game
If the application or online game for which you want to assign a traffic priority is not part of the
default QoS rules, you can add a custom QoS rule.
To create a QoS policy for an application or online game:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is
