44 LAN to slow down due to de creased bandwidth. Che ck with your ISP for more information on the bandwidth allo tted to your account. QoS Control by MAC Click the Enabled radio button to enable QoS priority by MAC address. Information coming from this MAC address will have the highest priority on the LAN.
45 Advanced > QoS > I P The user may also set QoS by specific IP address. To enable QoS per IP addre ss, first click the IP radio button which will reveal the preceeding window for the user to configure.
46 Upstream Bandwidth Use the pull-down menu to set t he Upstream Bandwidth. The user may choose a speed from 64 kbps to Full (100Mbps). Ensure that the bandwidth does not exceed the incoming bandwidth from the ISP or it will cause other devices on the LAN to slow down due to de creased bandwidth.
47 Advanced > QoS > Appli cation The user may also set QoS by specific prot ocol. To enable QoS per proto col, first click the Application radio button which will reveal the preceeding screen for the user to configure.
48 LAN requesting it, first. Other dev ices will have a lower pri ority in sending information through the route r. Name Enter a user-defined name to define this application for users on the LAN. Protocol Choose the proto col to be enabled for QoS from th e pull-down menu.
49 Advanced > Perfor mance The Wireless Performance window is u sed to configure settings for the Access Point feature of this device. Configuring these se ttings may increa se the performance of your router but if you are not familiar with netw orking devices and prot ocols, this section should be left at its default settings.
50 Transmit Power Allows the use r to adjust the transmit power of the router. A high transmit power allows a greater area range of accessibilit y to the router. Beacon Interval Beacons are emitted from the router in order t o synchronize the wireless network.
51 CTS Mode CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize collisions among wi reless devices on a wireless local area network (LAN). CTS will make sure the wirel ess network is clear before a wireless client attempts to send wireless data. Enabling CTS will add overhe ad and may lower wireless throughp ut.
52 Tools > Admin With this window, the DI-5 24UP administrator can ch ange the system passwo rd . There are two accounts that can access the Broadb and Router’s Web-Ma nagement interface. They are admin and user. Admin has read/write access while u ser has read-only access.
