WISH is short for Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling, a technology developed to enhance your experience of using a wireless network by prioritizing
the trac of dierent applications.
Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to prioritize
your trac.
Enable WISH:
Allows the router to recognize HTTP transfers for many
common audio and video streams and prioritize them
above other trac. Such streams are frequently used by
digital media players.
HTTP:
Enables the router to recognize certain audio and video
streams generated by a Windows Media Center PC and to
prioritize these above other trac. Such streams are used
by systems known as Windows Media Extenders, such as
the Xbox 360.
Windows Media Center:
When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically
attempt to prioritize trac streams that it doesn’t otherwise
recognize, based on the behaviour that the streams
exhibit. This acts to deprioritize streams that exhibit bulk
transfer characteristics, such as le transfers, while leaving
interactive trac, such as gaming or VoIP, running at a
normal priority.

WISH Rules:
A WISH Rule identies a specic message ow and assigns a priority to that ow. For most applications, the priority classiers ensure the right priorities and
specic WISH Rules are not required.
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a specic message ow, the rule with the highest priority will be used.
