2. USER S GUIDE RTA2600 QUALITY OF SERVICE QoS prioritizes and guarantees network performance for a specific application for an IP Address range or MAC Address You can also enter only an IP address or MAC address without selecting an application if you wish to priortize all traffic for a specific device QoS is often used for applications that require steady bandwidth Common applications include VoIP phones video streaming applications i e DVRs network cameras video on demand online gaming and servers It is important to note that while QoS helps to prioritize and guarantee bandwidth for a specific device or application it does not provide you with more bandwidth than you currently have For example if your Internet Provider rates your internet connection speed at 5Mbps QoS will not improve that connection QoS helps you better manage the 5Mbps that you have so that the bandwidth is prioritized for devices on your network that may need the provided 5Mbps more than other devices However if you have an application that requires more than 5Mbps of steady bandwidth the application will continue to experience lag with or without QoS since your available bandwidth is less than the required bandwidth of your application All QoS rules will be listed under the QoS Rule Table USER S GUIDE RTA2600 ROUTING SETUP Dynamic Routing allows the Router to automtically D Routing Setup learn network destinations for devices net
