Select this to enable bandwidth management.

LAN Managed 

Bandwidth

Enter the amount of bandwidth for this interface that you want to allocate using 

bandwidth management. 
It is recommended to set this speed to match what the LAN port’s connection can 

handle. For example, set it to 100000 kbps if your Ethernet network has a maximum 

speed of 100000 kbps.
You can set this number higher than the interface’s actual transmission speed. This 

will stop lower priority traffic from being sent if higher priority traffic uses all of the 

actual bandwidth. 
You can also set this number lower than the interface’s actual transmission speed. 

However, this will cause the ZyXEL Device to not use some of the interface’s 

available bandwidth.

WLAN Managed 

Bandwidth

Enter the amount of bandwidth for this interface that you want to allocate using 

bandwidth management. 
It is recommended to set this speed to match the maximum speed of the wireless 

network. In most cases, set it to 54000 kbps, unless your wireless network cannot 

handle this speed.
You can set this number higher than the interface’s actual transmission speed. This 

will stop lower priority traffic from being sent if higher priority traffic uses all of the 

actual bandwidth. 
You can also set this number lower than the interface’s actual transmission speed. 

However, this will cause the ZyXEL Device to not use some of the interface’s 

available bandwidth.
