<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial">The <i>QoS</i> screen allows control of the bandwidth allocation
to different Services, Netmasks, MAC addresses, and the four LAN ports. QoS is divided into four bandwidth classes called
Premium, Express, Standard, and Bulk. Unclassified services will use the Standard bandwidth class.
 </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial">In order to use bandwidth management (QoS) you must
enter bandwidth values for your Uplink and Downlink. These are generally 80% to 90% of your maximum bandwidth. You must also
choose whether to apply bandwidth limits to the WAN device or the LAN & wireless LAN device. (The LAN and wireless LAN ports are
bonded internally into a single virtual device).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial">Bandwidth classification
based on the four categories will be enabled first on the hardware ports, then on MAC addresses,
then Netmasks, and finally Services. For example, if you enable classification based on a MAC
address, this will override both Netmask and Service classifications. The LAN port based classification
will work together with MAC, Netmask, and Service classifications, however, and will not override
them.</span></p>
