QoS (Quality of Service)

Note: This feature was introduced in firmware v4.9.

Some models, such as Mango 2 (GL-MG1300), do not support QoS due to insufficient memory, even when running firmware v4.9 or later. Please refer to Supported Models for details.

On the left side of the web Admin Panel, go to FLOW CONTROL -> QoS.

QoS (Quality of Service) optimizes bandwidth allocation by prioritizing critical activities (e.g., video calls, gaming) during network congestion, reducing latency and improving overall network performance.

Note:

  1. This feature only affects traffic passing through the router when it operates as a gateway, including local client traffic and VPN client traffic. It does not apply to inbound traffic when the router acts as a VPN server.
  2. QoS will not take effect when the router is in Drop-in Gateway mode.
  3. QoS and SQM cannot be enabled simultaneously.
  4. QoS cannot work with Network Acceleration. Enabling QoS will automatically disable Network Acceleration to ensure stable performance.

For firmware v4.11 and above

Toggle the switch to enable QoS, then complete the configuration by following the steps below.

qos v4.11

  1. WAN Bandwidth

    Enter your WAN upload and download speeds (input range: 1 - 10000) manually, or click Run Speedtest to measure them and automatically populate the fields. An active internet connection is required to run the speed test.

    wan bandwidth

    Note: Values entered in the input field are in Mbps (megabits per second). The equivalent MB/s (megabytes per second) is displayed for your reference.

  2. Scheduling Policy

    You can select one policy mode. Advanced rules override the basic policy for matched traffic.

    • Device Priority

      In this mode, selected local clients receive higher network priority when the WAN connection is congested. Click Add Device and select devices to get bandwidth priority during heavy WAN load.

      device priority

      You can search for devices by client name, MAC address or IP address. Select target devices and click Apply.

      select devices

    • Application Priority

      In this mode, you can set priorities for different applications. The router will allocate bandwidth accordingly.

      application priority

      To customize application priority, select Customize and click Pre-Set up.

      customize priority 1

      In the pop-up window, all categories are set to Medium Priority by default.

      customize priority 2

      Drag the categories to adjust their priority as needed, then click Confirm.

      customize priority 3

    • Advanced QoS

      In this mode, you can create advanced QoS rules for high-priority traffic. Click Add Rule to define rules based on protocol, port, and source IP.

      advanced qos

      Specify the Name, Protocol, Source Address, and Destination Port, then click Apply.

      advanced qos rule

For firmware v4.9 to v4.10

Toggle the switch to enable QoS, and the page displays as follows.

qos

Set your maximum upload and download speeds (input range: 1 - 10000) for traffic scheduling. Match them to your actual internet bandwidth for the best results.

Note: Values entered in the input field are in Mbps (megabits per second). The equivalent MB/s (megabytes per second) is displayed for your reference.

Then set priorities for different applications. The router will allocate bandwidth accordingly.
