Wireless Adapter RNX-N4 User Manual

• Enable Traffic Shaping: Place a check in the box to enable traffic shaping. When this

option is enabled, the router restricts the flow of outbound traffic so as not to exceed

the WAN uplink bandwidth.

• Automatic Uplink Speed: Place a check in this box to enable automatic uplink speed.

When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically measure the useful uplink

bandwidth each time the WAN interface is re-established (after a reboot, for example).

• Measured Uplink Speed: Displays the uplink speed. This is the uplink speed

measured when the WAN interface was last re-established. The value may be lower

than that reported by your ISP as it does not include all of the network protocol

overheads associated with your ISP's network. Typically, this figure will be between

87% and 91% of the stated uplink speed for xDSL connections and around 5 kbps

lower for cable network connections.

• Manual Uplink Speed: Specify an uplink speed or select it from the drop-down list. If

Automatic Uplink Speed is disabled, this options allows you to set the uplink speed

manually. Uplink speed is the speed at which data can be transferred from the router to

your ISP.

• Connection Type: By default, the router automatically determines whether the

underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some other connection type

(such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as Detected xDSL or

Frame Relay Network. If you have an unusual network connection in which you are

actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either Static or DHCP in the

WAN settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that

the router will recognize that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give

the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network causes the

measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections,

but gives much better results.

• Enable StreamEngine: Place a check in this box to enable this option. Enable this

option for better performance and experience with online games and other interactive

applications, such as VoIP.

• Automatic Classification: Place a check in this box to enable this option. This option
