Optimize Video Streaming with Downstream QoS
Downstream Quality of Service (QoS) assigns a high priority to Internet video streaming from
websites like YouTube and Netflix.
Figure 8. Downstream QoS assigns a high priority to video streaming from the Internet
NETGEAR recommends that you enable downstream QoS only if you watch streaming
Internet video. When downstream QoS assigns a high priority to streaming video, it also
assigns a lower priority to the rest of your Internet traffic. That means other tasks like
downloading content from the Internet take longer.
To enable downstream QoS:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
or
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.

Improve Network Connections with Universal Plug and
Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices such as Internet appliances and computers
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time
communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP),
enable UPnP.
