Quality of Service (QoS) Setup
QoS is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of
others. The N300 Wireless Router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and
on the Internet connection. To configure QoS, use the QoS Setup screen.
Select
Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup
to display the following screen:
Enable WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications
The N300 Wireless Router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to
prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides
prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four access
categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the
benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client running that application have to have WMM
enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM, and applications that do not require
QoS, are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and
video.
WMM QoS is enabled by default, and the
Enable WMM
check box is selected. NETGEAR
recommends that you leave this setting as it is for full N rate support. You can disable it in the
QoS Setup screen by clearing this check box and clicking
Apply
.
Set Up QoS for Internet Access
You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic:
•
Specific applications
•
Specific online games
•
Individual Ethernet LAN ports of the router
•
A specific device by MAC address

To specify prioritization of traffic, you have to create a policy for the type of traffic and add the
policy to the QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen. For convenience, the QoS Policy
table lists many common applications and online games that can benefit from QoS handling.
QoS for Applications and Online Gaming
To create a QoS policy for applications and online games:
1.
In the QoS Setup screen, select the
Turn Internet Access QoS On
check box.
2.
Click the
Setup QoS Rule
button to see the existing priority rules. On this screen you can
edit or delete a rule by selecting its radio button and clicking either the
Edit
or
Delete
button.
You can also delete all of the rules by simply clicking the
Delete All
button.
3.
To add a priority rule, scroll down to the bottom of the QoS Setup screen and click
Add
Priority Rule
to display the following screen:
4.
In the QoS Policy for field, type the name of the application or game.

5.
In the Priority Category list, select either
Applications
or
Online Gaming
. In either case, a
list of applications or games displays in the list.
6.
You can select an existing item from the list, or you can scroll and select
Add a New
Application
or
Add a New Game,
as applicable.
If you add a new entry, the Priority Rules screen expands as shown:
a.
In the QoS Policy for field, enter a descriptive name for the new application or game.
b.
In the Connection Type field, select either
TCP,
UDP,
or both (
TCP/UDP
), and
specify the port number or range of port numbers used by the application or game.
7.
From the Priority list, select the priority that this traffic should receive relative to other
applications and traffic when accessing the Internet. The options are Low, Normal, High, and
Highest.
8.
Click
Apply
to save this rule to the QoS Policy list and return to the QoS Setup screen.
QoS for a Router LAN Port
To create a QoS policy for a device connected to one of the router’s LAN ports:
1.
Select
Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup
to display the QoS Setup screen. Select the
Turn Internet Access QoS On
check box.
2.
Click the
Setup QoS Rule
button.
3.
Click the
Add Priority Rule
button.

From the Priority Category list, select
Ethernet LAN Port
, as shown in the following figure:
5.
From the LAN port list, select the LAN port that will have a QoS policy.
6.
From the Priority list, select the priority that this port’s traffic should receive relative to other
applications and traffic when accessing the Internet. The options are Low, Normal, High, and
Highest.
7.
Click
Apply
to save this rule to the QoS Policy list and return to the QoS Setup screen.
8.
In the QoS Setup screen, click
Apply
.
QoS for a MAC Address
To create a QoS policy for traffic from a specific MAC address:
1.
Select
Advanced > Setup > Qo S Setup
, and click the
Setup QoS Rule
button. The
QoS Setup screen displays.
2.
Click
Add Priority Rule
.

3.
From the Priority Category list, select
MAC Address
to display the following screen:
4.
If the device to be prioritized appears in the MAC Device List, select its radio button. The
information from the MAC Device List populates the policy name, MAC Address, and Device
Name fields. If the device does not appear in the MAC Device List, click
Refresh
. If it still
does not appear, you have to complete these fields manually.
5.
From the Priority list, select the priority that this device’s traffic should receive relative to
other applications and traffic when accessing the Internet. The options are Low, Normal,
High, and Highest.
6.
Click
Add
to add a new QoS policy to the MAC Device list. Then click
Apply
to save this
rule to the QoS Policy list and return to the QoS Setup screen.
7.
In the QoS Setup screen, select the
Turn Internet Access QoS On
check box.
8.
Click
Apply
.
Editing or Deleting an Existing QoS Policy
