Configuring Quality of Service 
Quality of Service (QoS) helps guarantee upstream bandwidth for 
applications that require fast and dependable throughput. For 
example, QoS can slow down a photo upload so a phone call can 
proceed without garbling, and/or a gamer can enjoy faster 
response time. 
With QoS you can assign VoIP, each of the four ETHERNET 
ports, and the Wireless port a priority of High, Medium, or 
Standard. High priority ports together share a guaranteed 
percentage of upstream bandwidth, typically 70%. Medium priority 
ports share a lower guaranteed percentage, typically 20%. Standard 
priority ports share the remaining upstream bandwidth that is 
guaranteed to them. If ports aren’t using their guaranteed 
bandwidth, the excess bandwidth becomes available to other ports 
in order of priority. 
For VoIP, you normally assign a High Priority QoS port. For a 
game console, you may want to assign a High or Medium priority. 
For ports used for Web browsing, normally you use Standard 
priority. 
Windows users normally set up QoS by using the Install Assistant 
CD that comes with the X6v. To configure Quality of Service using 
Router Setup instead, click QoS on the Router Setup page. For a
