Why we need IP QoS (Bandwidth Control)?

Within a normal home network, the bandwidth is shared by all computers. This means any

computer using high-bandwidth applications, for example torrent programs or other P2P

software, will affect the other computers. This may also include negative affects on the

performance of the entire network. How can we avoid this?

The answer is IP QoS, which is designed to minimize the impact caused when the

connection is under heavy load. Using IP QoS, we can assign a specific minimum or maximum

bandwidth for each computer, which means they have less impact on each other. Please

follow the steps below to configure IP QoS.

How to configure IP QoS?

NOTE:

You’d better set static IP Address on your local computers in order to manage easily. For

how to configure TCP/IP properties on your computer, please refer to this FAQ.

Step 1 Open the web browser and type the LAN address of the router in the address bar

and then press Enter. The default IP address of TP-LINK router is 192.168.1.1.

Step 2 Type the username and password in the login page, the default username and

password of TP-LINK router are both admin in lowercase.

Step 3 Click QoS->QoS Settings on the left page and tick Enable QoS. The Egress

Bandwidth and Ingress Bandwidth should be the real bandwidth your ISP provides to

you.

How do I configure Bandwidth Control / IP-QoS on TP-LINKwireless router

300Mbps Wireless N Routers, 150Mbps Wireless N Routers, 54Mbps Wireless G RoutersSuitable for:



Egress Bandwidth-The upload stream through the WAN port.

Ingress Bandwidth-The download stream through the WAN port.

Step 4 Click Save to save the QoS Settings.

Step 5 Click QoS->QoS Rules List on the left page, you can view and configure the

QoS rules.

Description-This is the information to describe the QoS rule.

Egress Bandwidth-This field displays the max and min upload stream through the WAN

port.

Ingress Bandwidth-This field displays the max and min download stream through the

WAN port.

Enable-This displays the status of the rules.

Modify-Click “Modify” to edit the rule.

Click “Delete” to delete the rule.

Step 6 Click Add New to add a new QoS rule.



IP Range-Single IP address or IP address Range. When you configure the single IP address,

the computer with this IP address will get independent given bandwidth. When you configure

the IP address range, all computers in the range will share given bandwidth.

Port Range-The port arrange of TCP protocol or UDP protocol.

Protocol-You can choose the TCP protocol or UDP protocol or both of them.

Min Bandwidth-Assurable bandwidth,whenever,even though the traffic is very large in

your network, as long as you have demand, it will support you assurable bandwidth at least.

Max Bandwidth-Limited bandwidth, when the network is idle, you can use idle bandwidth

adequately, but it should be less than Max Bandwidth.

Step 7 Configure the QoS settings as per your real demand.

Note:

The amount of Min Egress Bandwidth and the amount of Min Ingress Bandwidth

you configure should be less than Egress Bandwidth and Ingress Bandwidth you

configure on QoS settings page previously.

Example

If your connection is based on ADSL and your ISP provides 2Mbps downstream and 512K

upstream, and you have 2 computers in network, you want each computer to have

independent bandwidth for use, please configure IP QoS as the diagram below.



Egress Bandwidth and Ingress Bandwidth are real bandwidth upstream and downstream

provided by your ISP.

Please configure the QoS Rule Settings for each computer as below:

Step 8 Click “Save” to save the settings you have configured.
