8.3 Setting up QoS
Thanks to QoS (Quality Of Service) you can make sure that a specific program or
computer gets priority above other programs. By using this feature, you are certain
that you will not get ‘lag’ in games or hitches during video playback, in case one of the
computers starts to download.
Setting up QoS differs per situation. Therefore we will explain how to setup QoS in a
general way.
1. Open your internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome or Firefox).
2. Type ‘http://192.168.8.1’ in the address bar.
3. Press the enter key or click ‘Go to’.
4. Click ‘Setup Tool’.
5. The login screen is shown
6. You will now be asked for a ‘Username’ and a ‘Password’. Fill in ‘admin’ in the
‘Username’ field and ‘admin’ in the ‘Password’ field and press the ‘Enter’ key.
7. Click ‘Advanced Setup’ in the left menu.
8. Click ‘Traffic’.
9. Click ‘QoS Setup’.
10. Place a mark at the option ‘Start’ at the right screen.
11. Fill in the speeds of your internet connection at ‘Download and Upload’. If you do
not know these speeds look at the yellow ‘Hint’ field for a brief explanation.
12. Click ‘Apply’ to activate these basic settings.
Hint: If you do not exactly know the speed of your internet connection please contact
your Internet Service Provider. Your provider will usually speak in term of MB. This
value is in Mbits. 1 MB=1024 Kbit. You can use both values in the webpage of the
router.
