QoS (Quality of Service) is designed to ensure the efficient operation of the network when the network is overloaded. Enabling QoS will specify priority levels for some devices or applications. Below are instructions on enabling QoS and adding rules.

To enable QoS go to **http://tplinkwifi.net** and log in with the username and password set on your router.

Go to Advanced>QoS>Settings

Select Enable QoS checkbox

Input the maximum upload and download bandwidth provided by your service provider. Click Advanced and drag the scroll bar to set the bandwidth priority percentage

Click Save



Next Add QoS Rules



Set a high priority rule for the ftp server. Click Add in the High Priority section

Select By Application and then select ftp in the list. Scroll down and click  OK





Set a middle priority rule for the phone

Click Add in the Middle Priority section

Select By Device and then click View Existing Devices



Select your device from the list



Click OK

QoS is now implemented
