Use Dynamic QoS to Optimize Internet Traffic
Management
Dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) helps improve your router’s Internet traffic management
capabilities through better application and device identification, bandwidth allocation, and
traffic prioritization techniques. Dynamic QoS resolves traffic congestion when the Internet
bandwidth is limited and different demands compete for bandwidth.
If your Internet download and upload speed is 250 Mbps or less and you like gaming and
streaming video, then you can benefit from enabling Dynamic QoS.
Note: If you use a gigabit Internet connection, or your Internet download and
upload speed is 300 Mbps or faster, then you don’t need to use
Dynamic QoS.

Note: If you use a gigabit Internet connection (300 Mbps throughput or
faster), then you don’t need to use QoS.
Enable Dynamic QoS
Because not everyone uses Dynamic QoS, it is disabled by default.
