GameFuel

The GameFuel

option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications. By

default the GameFuel settings are disabled and application priority is not classified automatically.

GameFuel

Setup

This option is disabled by default. Enable this option for better performance

and experience with online games and other interactive applications, such

as VoIP.
This option is enabled by default when the GameFuel option is enabled.

This option will allow your router to automatically determine which programs

should have network priority.
This option should be enabled when you have a slot Internet uplink. It helps

to reduce the impact that large low priority network packets can have on

more urgent ones.
This option is enabled by default when the GameFuel option is enabled.

This option will allow your router to automatically determine the uplink speed

of your Internet connection.
This displays the detected uplink speed.
The speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP.

This is determined by your ISP. ISP’s often speed as a download/upload

pair. For example, 1.5Mbits/284Kbits. Using this example, you would enter

284. Alternatively you can test your uplink speed with a service such as

www.dslreports.com.
By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying

connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some other connection type

(such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as

Detected

xDSL or Frame Relay Network. If you have an unusual network connection

in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure

either “Static” or “DHCP” in the WAN settings, setting this option to

xDSL

or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize

that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best

performance. Choosing

xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network causes the

measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such

connections, but gives much better results.

When

Connection Type is set to automatic, the automatically detected

connection type is displayed here.
