How to set up QoS using TP-Link Wi-Fi router?
The QoS (Quality of Service) feature allows you to prioritize the internet traffic of specific devices to guarantee a faster connection when you need it the most. The router has preset an appropriate bandwidth allocation policy, so you don’t need to set different priorities for all devices. Simply set the desired device to High Priority and set how long you want it to remain the high priority, then the device will be allocated with more bandwidth when the network is overloaded.
1. Log into the web interface of your TP-Link device by referring to How to log in to the web-based interface of Wi-Fi Routers (new logo)?
2. Click on Basic –> HomeCare –> QOS.
Note: You may also reach this area by following the path: Advanced – QOS -Application Priority.
3. Choose an application priority unless you use choose “Custom” your choice will auto-save.
Optional: You can also setup priority for specific device(s) in your network
1. Select Device priority.
2. Choose which device(s) to give priority and then select desired timing.
Once you have selected the time, the configuration will apply the new changes onto that device.
1. Log into the web interface of your TP-Link device by referring to How to log in to the web-based interface of Wi-Fi Routers (new logo)?
2. Go to Advanced > QoS.
