Optimize Traffic with Internet Access QoS
You can use Quality of Service (QoS) rules to assign different priorities to Internet traffic,
applications, services, and devices on your LAN. 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 144).
NETGEAR recommends that you enable Internet access QoS only if you use streaming
Internet. When Internet access 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 enable Internet access QoS:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2. T
