GameFuel™ (QoS)

Print

The GameFuel™, or QoS (Quality of Service), feature helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing network traffic from applications. By default the GameFuel™ settings are disabled and application priority is not automatically classified.

GameFuel™ Configuration

Step 1 Open a web browser and type the IP address of the DGL-4100/DGL-4300 in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.1). Press Enter.

Step 2 The default password is blank (nothing). Click Log In.

Step 3 Click Advanced at the top and then click GAMEFUEL on the left side.

Step 4 Select Enable GAMEFUEL and configure the following:

• Automatic Classification - Enabled by default when GameFuel™ is enabled. This option will allow the gaming router to automatically determine which programs should have network priority.
• Dynamic Fragmentation - Select this option to reduce the impact that large low priority network packets can have on more urgent ones.
• Max. IP Fragment Size - By default the maximum fragment size is 576. You can only modify the fragment size when Dynamic Fragmentation is enabled. Select a smaller size if you have a slow uplink and VoIP quality is not optimal or select a larger size for faster uplinks.
• Uplink Speed - This is the speed at which data can be transferred from the gaming router to your ISP and is determined by your ISP. Usually your ISP issues a speed as a download/upload. For example, if your connection speed 1.5Mbits/284Kbits enter 284.

Step 5 Click Save Settings at the top to apply the settings.


Adding a GameFuel™ Rule

After GameFuel™ is enabled you will be able to add GameFuel™ rules.

Step 1 In the ADD GAMEFUEL RULE section configure the following:

• Enabled - Select the checkbox next to Enabled to enable the rule.
• Name - Enter a name to identify the rule.
• Priority - Network traffic from rules with a lower priority number will have priority over rules with a higher priority number. Enter a value between 0 (highest priority) - 255 (lowest priority).
• Protocol - Select the protocol (TCP or UDP).
• Source IP Range - Enter the LAN IP address(es) of the computer(s) that traffic will originate from.
• Source Port Range - Enter the port(s) on the LAN interface that traffic will originate from.
• Destination IP Range - Enter the WAN IP address(es) that traffic will be routed to.
• Destination Port Range - Enter the port(s) that traffic will be routed to on the WAN interface.

Step 2 Click Save to save the rule.
