• Improve Network Connections With Universal Plug and Play
 on page 155 144 

Optimize Traffic with QoS
You can use Quality of Service (QoS) to assign different priorities to Internet traffic, applications, and services. The
modem router provides default QoS rules. You can add custom QoS rules and manage both default and custom
QoS r
ules (see 
Manage Default and Custom QoS Rules on page 146).
W
e recommend that you enable QoS if you use streaming Internet. However, when QoS assigns a high priority to
streaming video, it also assigns lower priority to the rest of your Internet...

Your settings are saved. The modem router assigns traffic priorities according to the QoS rules and their priority
queues.
Manage Default and Custom QoS Rules You can add custom QoS rules and change and remove both default and custom QoS rules. You can add QoS rules
for services and applications but also for specific devices on your network.
