WAN Traffic Shaping
Enable Traffic Shaping
When this option is enabled, the router restricts the flow of outbound traffic so as not to exceed the WAN
uplink bandwidth.
Automatic Uplink Speed
When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically measure the useful uplink bandwidth each time
the WAN interface is re-established (after a reboot, for example).
Measured Uplink Speed
This is the uplink speed measured when the WAN interface was last re-established. The value may be lower
than that reported by your ISP as it does not include all of the network protocol overheads associated with
your ISP's network. Typically, this figure will be between 87% and 91% of the stated uplink speed for xDSL
connections and around 5 kbps lower for cable network connections.
Manual Uplink Speed
If Automatic Uplink Speed is disabled, this options allows you to set the uplink speed manually. Uplink speed
is the speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISPs
