QoS settings for TP-Link Powerline adapters
Dear community,
dear TP-Link,
Using the PLC-Tool to configure my Powerline adapters, I found the QoS option to optimize traffic. It's offering: "Internet", "Online Game", "Audio or Video" and "Voice over IP".
Nowhere, absolutely nowhere, there's a specification or documentation available, what these options are containing. I own a degree in computer science, and to be honest, this feature is absolutely useless without further information.
What is "Internet"? HTTP / HTTPS in a browser only? All data transmitted to the gateway?
What is "Audio or Video"? Transferring an MP3 or MKV file over the local network? A video stream in a browser?
What is "Voice over IP"? RTP on port 5004/5? SIP on port 5060/61? Will an application like Skype be included? A WhatsApp video call?
I'm aware of the fact, that this is a consumer product. But what could a standard user possibly do with these options? Eventually he will just choose anything or leave the default value - without knowing what it means. So, either please provide some more information about this, or remove it from the software. As it is now, it will just lead to wrong usage.
Looking forward to any ideas.
Cheers,
Johannes
