This article will show how to turn on Quality of Service (QoS) management on an ASUS RT-AC68U wireless router.
This will allow the router to set priorities for certain types of web traffic. For example: setting a higher priority for web browsing while setting a lower priority for online video or file transfers.
Here is how to manage these settings:
1. Open any web browser on your computer, and type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar, and then press Enter on your keyboard.
2. Enter the administrator username and password for the router (not your Wi-Fi password) and then click OK.
The default username and password are both admin.
3. From the advanced menu on the left side of the router settings, click on Traffic Manager.
4. Click on the On / Off slider for QoS (Quality of Service) to turn it on.
5. Enter the upload and download bandwidth as provided by your Internet Service Provider in the respective boxes, and then click the Save button.
The basic QoS (Quality of Service) settings have now been applied to the router.
6. By default, the router will prioritize web browsing over large file transfers.
