QoS Engine
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 QoS Engine 
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 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 re\
sults. 
When Connection Type is set to automatic, the automatically detected con\
nection 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.

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.  This  will  allow  your  router  to  automatically  determine  the  network  priority  of  running 
programs.
This option should be enabled when you have a slow Internet uplink. It helps to reduce the impact that large low priority 
network packets can have on more urgent ones.
