You can define the Internet access priority level for as
many categories as you want. The Summary section will
display all of the priority selections that you enter. Select
from the following categories:
• Applications Allows you to assign the bandwidth
priority level for a pre-defined application (selected
from the list) or add a new application and port
settings and then prioritize it.
• Online Games Allows you to assign a priority level for
a pre-defined game selection that you can select from
the list or add the settings for a game that isn’t listed
and select the priority level.
• MAC Address This option lets you prioritize network
traffic based on the device that is accessing the
network. For example, if you want your gaming
console to have higher priority accessing the Internet
than your computer, you can define that here based
on their MAC addresses.
• Ethernet Port This option allows you to prioritize
traffic connected to a specific Ethernet port. For
example, you can prioritize Internet access for the
computer connected to port 1.
• Voice Device Voice devices demand a higher level
of Internet prioritization. If you have a voice device or
devices on your network that you want to prioritize,
you can enter their MAC address using this option.
Proceed to the instructions for your selection.
