AC1200 WiFi DSL Modem Router—Essentials Edition Model D6100
Optimize Traffic with QoS
You can use Quality of Service (QoS) to assign different priorities to Internet traffic,
applications, and services. 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 115).
NETGEAR recommends that you enable QoS if you use streaming Internet. However, when
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 view the default QoS rules with their default priorities and turn on QoS:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2. T

The user name and

4. Click the OK button.
