Uplink speed is the speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISPs often specify speed as a downlink/uplink pair; for example, 1.5Mbps/284kbps.

What is uplink bandwidth in QoS?

You can reserve and prioritize uplink bandwidth traffic to provide higher QoS for specific applications, traffic or ports. This is done by applying bandwidth reservation on existing session ACLs. Typically, the bandwidth reservation is applied for uplink voice traffic.

The traffic of your gaming and streaming applications is sent first, improving performance. This feature can help to minimize lag during online gaming. NETGEAR recommends that only gamers enable the Upstream QoS feature. If you don’t game and you enable this feature, some applications might lose performance.

Does QoS limit bandwidth?

With QoS, you can enforce bandwidth for traffic on a narrow or a broad scale. A QoS profile rule allows you to set bandwidth limits for individual QoS classes and the total combined bandwidth for all eight QoS classes.
