Router Login
Login to the router. The default IP address is http://10.0.0.2.
The default login username and password is "admin".

Configuring QoS Queue
Step 1: Navigate to Advanced setup → Quality of Service → QoS Queue.
[Image: Screenshot of the D-Link router interface showing the navigation menu with "Quality of Service" and "QoS Queue" highlighted.]
QoS Global Settings
The QoS Global Settings section allows you to configure the overall QoS profile and bandwidth.
- Enable QoS Profile: Select "Custom Profile" to enable custom QoS settings. Changing the profile will affect all QoS settings.
- Enable: Enable or disable QoS functionality.
- Upstream Bandwidth: Set the upstream bandwidth in Kbps. Enter '0' for no rate limit.
- Scheduling Policy: Choose a scheduling policy (e.g., SP - Strict Priority).
- Enable Force Bandwidth: Option to force bandwidth allocation.
- DSCP/TC Mark: Field for DSCP/TC marking.
- 802.1P Tag: Field for 802.1P tagging.
- TCP Connection Number Limit: Set a limit for TCP connections.

Upstream Queue Settings
Configure the priority levels for upstream traffic. You can define as many priority levels as you need.
| Number | Enable | Priority (1 is the highest) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ✔️ | 1 |
| 2 | ✔️ | 2 |
| 3 | ✔️ | 3 |
| 4 | ✔️ | 4 |

Configuring QoS Classification
Step 2: Navigate to Advanced setup → Quality of Service → QoS Classification.
[Image: Screenshot of the D-Link router interface showing the navigation menu with "Quality of Service" and "QoS Classification" highlighted.]
Classification List
This section displays existing classification rules. You can add new rules to classify specific traffic types.
Click "Add Flow" to create a new classification rule.
[Image: Screenshot of the Classification List showing "No Rule Found!" and an "Add Flow" button.]
QoS Classification Settings
Configure the rules to classify traffic based on various criteria.
Enable: Enable or disable QoS Classification.
Classification Traffic Base
Define the parameters for classifying traffic:
- IP Version: Select IPv4 or IPv6.
- LAN Interface: Specify the LAN interface.
- WAN Connection: Specify the WAN connection.
- Source MAC: Enter the MAC address of the source device.
- Destination MAC: Enter the MAC address of the destination device.
- VLAN: Specify the VLAN ID.
- 802.1P: Set the 802.1P priority tag.
- Source Address: Enter the IP address of the source. (e.g., 8.8.8.8)
- Source Mask: Enter the subnet mask for the source address. (e.g., 255.255.255.0)
- Destination Address: Enter the IP address of the destination. (e.g., 8.8.8.8)
- Destination Mask: Enter the subnet mask for the destination address. (e.g., 255.255.255.0)
- DSCP: Differentiated Services Code Point value.
- IP Protocol Type: Select the protocol (e.g., TCP, UDP).
- Source Port Range: Specify the range of source ports.
- Destination Port Range: Specify the range of destination ports. (e.g., 80~80 for HTTP)

Classification Match Result
After defining the classification criteria, you assign a queue and priority.
- Queue: Assign the traffic to a specific queue (e.g., Queue 3).
- DSCP: DSCP value for the classified traffic.
- 802.1P Tag: 802.1P tag for the classified traffic.
The example shows classifying TCP traffic with a destination port range of 80 (HTTP) to Queue 3, indicating high priority for web traffic.

Click "Apply" to save the classification rule.
