Use this screen to select the applications to which you want to allocate bandwidth. You can 
use the applications you do not select, as well as ones that do not appear on this list, but they 
have lower priority.

WAN 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 WAN port’s connection can 

handle. For example, set it to 40000 kbps if your broadband modem or router has a 

maximum speed of 40000 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.
