About this tag
This tag covers discussions about QoS settings, focusing on how router-based Quality of Service features can impact network throughput and CPU performance. The content highlights that while QoS, security inspection, and other advanced router features can create bottlenecks, they don't all affect traffic equally. For Windows users, the guidance emphasizes distinguishing between router throughput limitations and Wi-Fi issues, such as signal strength or channel congestion. Practical advice includes testing QoS and VPN features before disabling them, as some may be worth keeping despite potential performance costs. The tag is relevant for those troubleshooting slow broadband connections or optimizing router settings for Windows-based devices.
