LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active QoS Select the check box to turn on QoS to improve your network
performance.
WAN Managed
Upstream
Bandwidth
Enter the amount of upstream bandwidth for the WAN interface that you
want to allocate using QoS.
The recommendation is to set this speed to match the interface’s actual
transmission speed. For example, set the WAN interface speed to
100000 kbps if your Internet connection has an upstream transmission
speed of 100 Mbps.
You can set this number higher than the interface’s actual transmission
speed. The P-870HN-51D uses up to 95% of the DSL port’s actual
upstream transmission speed even if you set this number higher than
the DSL port’s actual transmission speed.
You can also set this number lower than the interface’s actual
transmission speed. This will cause the P-870HN-51D to not use some of
the interface’s available bandwidth.
If you leave this field blank, the P-870HN-51D automatically sets this
number to be 95% of the DSL port’s actual upstream transmission
speed.
LAN/WLAN
Managed
Downstream
Bandwidth
Enter the amount of downstream bandwidth for the LAN and WLAN
interfaces that you want to allocate using QoS.
This value depends on what the network adapter supports. If the
network adapter supports at least 100 Mbps, the effective value for the
field is any value between 1 Kbps to 100 Mbps. The default value is 100
Mbps.
