Chapter 6 QoS
This chapter introduces how to create a QoS (Quality of Service) rule to specify prioritization of traffic and minimize the impact caused when the connection is under heavy load. QoS is only supported by the Router mode.
It contains the following sections:
1. Prioritize Internet Traffic with QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) is designed to ensure the efficient operation of the network when come across network overload or congestion.
I want to:
Specify priority levels for some devices or applications.
For example, I have several devices that are connected to my wireless network. I would like to set an intermediate speed on the Internet for my phone.
How can I do that?
1.Enable QoS and set bandwidth allocation.
1 )Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for the router.
2 )Go to Advanced > QoS > Settings.
3 )Select Enable QoS.
4 )Input the maximum upload and download bandwidth provided by your internet service provider. 1Mbps equal s to 1000Kbps.
5 )Click Advanced and drag the scroll bar to set the bandwidth priority percentage.
6 )Click Save.
2.Add a middle priority QoS rule for the phone.
1 )Select By Device and then click View Existing Devices.
2 )Choose the respective device from the list.
3 )Click OK.
3.Refer to the steps above to apply other QoS rules if any.
Note: If you want to delete a QoS rule, click 
to remove the responding rule from the list.
Done!
Now QoS is implemented to prioritize Internet traffic.
This function can help to add or update the applications the router supports. If the applications you need are not listed in the Application list, you can try to download the new version and upgrade the database. New database versions are posted at
