QoS Engine
This option is disabled by default. Enable this option
for better performance and experience with online
games and other interactive applications, such as VoIP.
This option should be enabled when you have a slow
Internet uplink. It helps to reduce the impact that
large low priority network packets can have on more
urgent ones.
This option is enabled by default when the QoS Engine
option is enabled. This option will allow your router
to automatically determine the uplink speed of your
Internet connection.
This displays the detected uplink speed.
The speed at which data can be transferred from the
router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISP’s
often speed as a download/upload pair. For example,
1.5Mbits/284Kbits. Using this example, you would
enter 284. Alternatively you can test your uplink speed
with a service such as www.dslreports.com.
By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some other
connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network. If you have
an unusual network connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you congure either “Static” or “DHCP”
in the Internet settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize that it needs
to shape trac slightly dierently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network causes the
measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but gives much better results.
When Connection Type is set to automatic, the automatically detected connection type is displayed here.

The QoS Engine option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications. By default the QoS Engine settings are
