Optimize Performance
This chapter describes how you can optimize the modem router’s performance and manage the traffic flows through the
modem router.
The chapter contains the f ollowing sections:
• Optimize Traffic with QoS
 on page 145
• Manage Default and Custom QoS Rules
 on page 146
• Manage Uplink Bandwidth Control
 on page 152
• Manage Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service on page 
153
• Manage Beamforming on page 
154
• 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 traffic. That means that other tasks such
as downloading content from the Internet take longer.
To view the default QoS rules with their default priorities and turn on QoS: 1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter 
http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the 
modem router user name and password.
The user name is 
admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup
. If you did not add any custom rules or change priorities, the QoS rules table displays the default QoS rules and
their default priority queues, from the highest queue (the leftmost column) to the lowest priority (the rightmost
column).
5. Select the 
Turn Internet Access QoS On check box.
6. Clic
k the Apply button. Optimize Performance

							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.
Add a Custom QoS Rule for a Service or Application
If the service or application for which you want to assign a traffic priority is not part of the default QoS rules, you can
add a custom QoS rule.
To add a custom QoS rule for a service or application: 1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the 
modem router user name and password.
The user name is 
admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
