IP Group (By Users)

IP Group (By Users) mode enables you to group traffic by different priority levels or classes of service (CoS). It can

ensure bandwidth and higher priority for the specific IP addresses of important users, and the IP Group users

don’t need to share bandwidth with lower classification users who use Intelligent Balancer mode.

In the Interface Setting table, the number of each WAN port is shown in the Interface column. If you have set the

IP Group for a selected WAN port, it will show the message, “Dispatched by user” in the Mode column. If you did

not set the IP Group for a selected WAN port, it will show the message, “Dispatched by system” in the Mode

column.

After you have selected IP Group (By Users), then click the Edit in the Config. column to edit the Mode setting of

the selected WAN port. The Edit Load Balance screen will appear.

In the Interface field, the WAN port number is displayed. For the Max. Bandwidth provided by ISP setting, select

64K, 128K, 256K, 384K, 512K, 1024K, 1.5M, 2M, or 2.5M or above from the Upstream drop-down menu. From

the Downstream drop-down menu, select 512K, 1024K, 1.5M, 2M, or 2.5M or above.

You can enable the Router to check the network service layer using DNS lookup. This tool can detect the network

connection status of the ISP if you have set up the DNS server in the Network section of the Setup page. If you did

not set up the DNS server, the checkbox will be grayed out, and then you cannot use the DNS lookup tool. The

default is unchecked. To use this tool, enter the host name and select the appropriate option from the When Fail

drop-down menu. Using DNS lookup, the Router will check the network service layer every 15 minutes to see if

the network connection to your ISP is active.

The When Fail drop-down menu offers two options. If the connection is not active, the Router will generate a

system log or suspend this WAN interface. For the Generate System Log setting, the Router will generate a

system log when DNS lookup fails to inform you that the ISP connection may be disconnected. For the Suspend

this WAN Interface setting, the Router will suspend this WAN interface when the network connection to your ISP

is not active. The traffic on this WAN will be dispatched to the other WAN ports in Auto Mode. When the ISP

connection is re-established, traffic will return to this WAN interface.

To add an IP range, follow these instructions:

1. Enter the beginning IP address of the range in the Address field.

2. Enter the number of users in the Range field.
