[. . . ] 1 Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] Enable it for better performance and experience with online games and other interactive applications, such as VoIP. Automatic Classification This option is enabled by default so that your router will automatically determine which programs should have network priority. Dynamic Fragmentation 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 by breaking the large packets into several smaller packets. Automatic Uplink Speed When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically measure the useful uplink bandwidth each time the WAN interface is re-established (after a reboot, for example). Measured Uplink Speed This is the uplink speed measured when the WAN interface was last re-established. The value may be lower than that reported by your ISP as it does not include all of the network protocol overheads associated with your ISP's network. Typically, this figure will be between 87% and 91% of the stated uplink speed for xDSL connections and around 5 kbps lower for cable network connections. Uplink Speed If Automatic Uplink Speed is disabled, this options allows you to set the uplink speed manually. Uplink speed is the speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP. ISPs often specify speed as a downlink/uplink pair; for example, 1. 5Mbits/284Kbits. For this example, you would enter "284". Alternatively you can test your uplink speed with a service such as www. dslreports. com. Note however that sites such as DSL Reports, because they do not consider as many network protocol overheads, will generally note speeds slightly lower than the Measured Uplink Speed or the ISP rated speed. Connection Type 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. Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network When Connection Type is set to Auto-detect, the automatically detected connection type is 33 displayed here. Add/Edit Traffic Shaping Rule Automatic classification will be adequate for most applications, and specific Traffic Shaping Rules will not be required. A Traffic Shaping Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to that flow. Enable Each entry in Traffic Shaping Rules List can be active (enabled) or inactive (disabled) Name Create a name for the rule that is meaningful to you. Priority The priority of the message flow is entered here.
