QOS smart distribution
This section will allow you to prioritize particular clients over others, so that those clients receive higher bandwidth. For example, if one
client is streaming a movie and another is downloading a non-urgent file, you might wish to assign the former device a higher priority
than the latter so that the movie streaming is not disrupted by the traffic of the other devices on the network.
On the top of the menu bar, click QOS ,and turn on the QOS
engine.
Under All Devices, you will see device cards representing each
connected client. If some are off-screen, you can use the < and >
buttons to scroll through the cards.
A maximum of one device can be assigned Highest priority.
A maximum of two devices can be assigned High priority.
A maximum of eight devices can be assigned Medium priority.
If no devices are explicitly assigned a priority, they will all be
treated with equal priority. If some devices are not assigned a
priority and others are, the unassigned devices will be treated
with the lowest priority.
To assign a priority level to a device, drag the device card from
the All Devices list over an empty slot and release the mouse button.
The card will remain in the slot. If you want to remove a priority
assignment from a device and return it to the All Devices list, click the
cross icon in the top right of the device card.
Click Save when you are done.
