    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.   
     
    With this function, you can limit the maximum bandwidth or give a 
    guaranteed bandwidth for a specific computer, to avoid said unpleasing 
    result from happening. 
     
    3-5-1-1 Basic QoS Settings

    Bandwidth  Set the bandwidth limitation of this QoS rule. 
    You have to select the data direction of this rule 
    (Upload of Download), and the speed of 
    bandwidth limitation in Kbps, then select the 
    type of QoS: ‘guarantee’ (guaranteed usable 
    bandwidth for this rule) or ‘max’ (set the 
    maximum bandwidth for the application 
    allowed by this rule). 
    Local IP Address  Specify the local (source) IP address that will 
    be affected by this rule. Please input the 
    starting IP address in the left field, and input 
    the end IP address in the right field to define a 
    range of IP addresses, or just input the IP

    number that will be affected by this rule. If you 
    want to apply this rule on port 80 to 90, please 
    input ’80-90’; if you want to apply this rule on 
    a single port, just input the port number, like

    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.   
     
    This broadband router supports four types of NAT functions, and the 
    instructions of these functions will be given below.

    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. 
     
     
    Here are descriptions of every setup items: 
     
    Item Name Description 
    Enable Virtual Server  Check this box to enable virtual server, and 
    uncheck this box to disable virtual server. 
    Private IP  Input the IP address of the computer which 
    provides Internet service. 
    Computer name  All computer names found by this broadband 
    router on local network will be listed here. You 
    can select the computer name and click ‘

    address which will be redirected to the port 
    number of local IP address defined above. 
    Comment  Please input any text to describe this mapping, 
    up to 16 alphanumerical characters. 
    Add  Add the mapping to virtual server table. 
    Reset  Remove all inputted values. 
     
    All existing virtual server mappings will be displayed in this page. To 
    delete one or more mappings, check the box of the mapping, then click 
    ‘Delete Selected’ button to remove the mapping. To delete all existing 
    mappings, click ‘Delete All’ button. If you want to uncheck all boxes, 
    click ‘Reset’. 
    When you finished with the settings in this page, you can click ‘Apply’ 
    button to save changes you made in this page, or you can click ‘Cancel’ 
    to discard changes. After you click ‘Apply’ button, you’ll see the 
    following messages: 
     
     
     
    Please click ‘Apply’ to save changes you made and restart the broadband 
    router, this requires about 30 seconds and the broadband router will stop

    3-5-2-2 Special Applications 
     
    Some applications require more than one connection a time; these 
    applications won’t work with simple NAT rules. In order to make these 
    applications work, you can use this function to let these applications 
    work.
