TP-Link AC1200 Wi-Fi Router Archer C6 / A6 User Manual QoS

This chapter introduces how to create a QoS (Quality of Service) rule to specify prioritization of traffic and minimize the impact caused when the connection is under heavy load.

I want to:

Specify priority levels for some devices or applications.

For example, I have several devices that are connected to my wireless network. I would like to set an intermediate speed on the internet for my computer for the next 2 hours.

How can I do that?

1. Enable QoS and set bandwidth allocation.

   1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router.

   2. Go to Advanced > QoS > Global Settings.

   3. Tick to enable QoS.

      📘

      Note: QoS and NAT Boost cannot be enabled at the same time. To disable NAT Boost, go to Advanced > Network > Internet >NAT.

   4. Input the maximum upload and download bandwidth provided by your internet service provider. 1Mbps equal s to 1000Kbps.

   5. Click SAVE.

2. In the Device Priority section, find your computer and toggle on Priority. Click the entry in the Timing column and select 2 hours as the duration you want the device to be prioritized for.

3. Click SAVE

Done! You can now enjoy using your computer for the next 2 hours.
