13.3.2 Priorities Screen
The StreamBoost engine on the NBG6815 can identify the types of connected devices (such as PC,
smart phone, tablet, TV or game console) in your network. When there is not enough bandwidth to
support traffic of the same priority, the NBG6815 refers to the connected device priority. Traffic
from the device with the lowest priority is classified as best-effort traffic.
Use this screen to prioritize the connected devices by clicking a device’s arrow button to change its
position in the list. Click Save to apply your settings. Otherwise, click Cancel to return the screen
to its last-saved settings.
In Expert mode, click Applications > Bandwidth Management > Priorities to open the
