3-5-1 QoS 
 
Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network 
to share the internet bandwidth with a promised quality of internet service. 
Without QoS, all computers and devices on the network will compete 
with each other to get internet bandwidth, and some applications which 
require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network 
telephone) will be affected, therefore an unpleasing result will occur, like 
the interruption of video / audio transfer.

3-5-2 NAT 
 
Network address translations solve the problem if sharing a single IP 
address to multiple computers. Without NAT, all computers must be 
assigned with a valid Internet IP address to get connected to Internet, but 
Internet service providers only provide very few IP addresses to every 
user. Therefore it’s necessary to use NAT technology to share a single 
Internet IP address to multiple computers on local network, so everyone 
can get connected to Internet.

3-5-2-1 Virtual Server 
 
This function allows you to redirect a port on Internet IP address (on 
WAN port) to a specified port of an IP address on local network, so you 
can setup an Internet service on the computer on local network, without 
exposing it on Internet directly. You can also build many sets of port 
redirection, to provide many different Internet services on different local 
computers via a single Internet IP address.
