4.   Optimize Performance
You can set up the router to optimize performance for applications such as Internet gaming, 
high-definition video streaming, and VoIP communication. By default, the router uses Wi-Fi 
Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS).
This chapter contains the following sections:
•Optimize Internet Gaming with Upstream QoS 
•Add QoS Rules by Service 
•Improve Network Connections with Universal Plug and Play 
•Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service
