No Acknowledgement
If you want to disable the Router's
Acknowledgement feature, so the Router will not re-send
data if an error occurs, then select Enabled. Otherwise,
keep the default setting of Disabled.
Internet Access Priority
In this section, you can set the bandwidth priority for a
variety of applications and devices. There are four levels of
priority: High, Medium, Normal or Low. When you set the
priority, do not set all applications to High, because this will
defeat the purpose of allocating the available bandwidth.
If you want to select below normal bandwidth, select Low.
Depending on the application, a few attempts may be
needed to set the appropriate bandwidth priority.
Enabled/Disabled
To use the QoS policies you have set,
keep the default setting of Enabled. Otherwise, select
Disabled.
Category
There are four categories available. Select one of the
following: Applications, Online Games, MAC Address,
Ethernet Port or Voice Device. Proceed to the instructions
for your selection.
