Edimax’s Revolutionary iQoS
iQoS is Edimax’s solution for a quicker, easier, and more effective way to manage Internet bandwidth. While
Quality of Service (QoS) functionality is a common feature in routers across the market, typically only advanced
users have the knowledge required to set up the complex parameters. Edimax though has redesigned QoS with
user-friendliness and accessibility in mind. A simple and intuitive user interface allows users to arrange
bandwidth priority settings in just a few clicks. With iQoS, you can enjoy gaming, video streaming, VoIP
applications and BT clients at the same time without the usual nightmare of lag and interruptions. An original,
efficient and effective means of managing your Internet bandwidth.
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Button & Built-In WLAN On/Off Switch
The Edimax BR-6478AC allows users to build secure connections with WPS enabled wireless devices simply by
pressing the WPS button - there is no need for the hassle of complex set up and configuration procedures . And
with the built-in WLAN on/off switch users can also easily switch on/off the wireless connection without
logging into the user interface –an easy way to save electricity when it is not in use.
