Port Setting
This section allows you to congure the settings for the router’s Ethernet ports to solve some
of the compatibility problems that may be encountered while connecting to the Internet, as well
allowing users to tweak the performance of their network.
Port # Connection Type: There are Six options to choose from: Auto, disable, 10M half-duplex,
10M full-duplex, 100M half-duplex, 100M full-duplex and Disable. Sometimes, there are Ethernet
compatibility problems with legacy Ethernet devices, and you can congure different types to
solve compatibility issues. The default is Auto, which users should keep unless there are specic
problems with PCs not being able to access your LAN.
IPv4 TOS priority Control (Advanced users): TOS, Type of Services, is the 2
nd
octet of an IP
packet. Bits 6-7 of this octet are reserved and bit 0-5 are used to specify the priority of the packet.
This feature uses bits 0-5 to classify the packet’s priority. If the packet is high priority, it will ow
rst and will not be constrained by the Rate Limit. Therefore, when this feature is enabled, the
router’s Ethernet switch will check the 2
nd
octet of each IP packet. If the value in the TOS eld
matches the checked values in the table (0 to 63), this packet will be treated as high priority.
