III-3-5-4. Access Control.

Access Control is a security feature that can help to prevent unauthorized users from connecting to your wireless router.

This function allows you to define a list of network devices permitted or denied to connect to the BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3. Devices are each identified by their unique MAC address or IP address. Specific services can also be allowed/denied for IP addresses.

Check/uncheck the “Enable MAC Filtering” and/or “Enable IP Filtering” box to enable/disable MAC filtering and/or IP filtering.

A Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is an isolated area in your local network where private IP addresses are mapped to specified Internet IP addresses, allowing unrestricted access to the private IP addresses but not to the wider local network.

You can define a virtual DMZ host here. This is useful for example, if a network client PC cannot run an application properly from behind an NAT firewall, since it opens the client up to unrestricted two-way access.

Quality of Service (QoS) is a feature to manage Internet bandwidth efficiently. Some applications require more bandwidth than others to function

properly, and QoS allows you to ensure that sufficient bandwidth is available. Minimum or maximum bandwidth can be guaranteed for a specified application.

QoS can improve the performance. QoS is recommended to optimize performance for online gaming.

iQoS is a more intuitive and automated tool to manage internet bandwidth than manually configuring the settings using QoS. For online gamers or users with bandwidth requirements for audio/video, iQoS is a useful function.

iQoS cannot be used in conjunction with QoS and vice-versa. When one is enabled, the other is automatically disabled.

Check/uncheck the box “Enable iQoS” to enable/disable the iQoS function, and then enter your bandwidth limits and arrange the network application icons in priority order in the “Current iQoS Table”. Icons with higher priority will be assigned bandwidth more efficiently for better performance.
