QoS Engine
Traffic Shaping
This option is enabled by default when the Traffic
Shaping 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/84Kbits. Using this example, you would
enter 84. 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 Internet 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.

The QoS Engine option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications. By default the QoS Engine
settings are disabled and application priority is not classified automatically.
