Confused About Router Internet Speed Settings

[Rakivic]

I just got my first wireless router, and I am trying to set up it's QOS (quality of service) how ever when I run a speed test I get 39.41Mbps and my router wants the speed in Kb/s. So is my router asking for Kilobits per second or Kilobytes per second? There seems to be allot of different aberrations for each one and I am confused about which I should be using. Also are the aberrations universal (ie the same in Canada as the US)

By the way my router is an Asus RT-N56U.

The way they are noted are as follows:

"Kbps" = Kilobits per second
"KBps" = Kilobytes per second

If it doesn't specify exactly which to use, check to see how it is noted per above, and use that form.

The router notes it like this: Kb/s
So that would be Kilobits per second?

Correct.
