Prioritize with Dynamic Quality of Service
Dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) helps improve your router’s
Internet traffic management capabilities through better application
and device identification, bandwidth allocation, and traffic
prioritization techniques. Dynamic QoS resolves traffic congestion
when you have limited Internet bandwidth and competing demands.
If your Internet download and upload speed is 250 Mbps or less
and you like gaming and streaming video, then you can benefit from
enabling Dynamic QoS.
Note:
If you use a gigabit Internet connection, or your Internet
download and upload speed is 300 Mbps or faster, then you don’t
need to use Dynamic QoS.

browser.
