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 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. T
ype http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login screen displays.
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 screen displays.
4. Select ADV
ANCED > Setup > QoS Setup > Downstream QoS.
5. Select the Enable Downstream QoS (Improved Video Streaming) check box.
6. (Optional) Select the Streaming Database
Auto Upgrade check box.
The router automatically checks for updates for the streaming database, and downloads
and installs them.
7. Click the Apply button.
The router assigns a high priority to video streaming from the Internet traffic.
