Dynamic Quality Of Service

If you like gaming and streaming videos, then you’ll benefit from Dynamic Quality of Service (QoS). Dynamic QoS resolves Internet
traffic congestion when you have competing Internet demands at home. Dynamic QoS identifies your online activities by application
and device, and then utilizes bandwidth allocation, and traffic prioritization techniques, to automatically allocate more bandwidth to
latency sensitive applications like online gaming and video streaming, while ensuring that lower priority applications continue to work.
