Configuring Priorities for Internet Use
Overview
For network devices or network applications you can define different
priorities for access to the internet connection.
You can reserve bandwidth for the home network whenever the guest
network of the FRITZ!Box is in use.
Prioritization Categories
There are three prioritization categories for network applications:
• Real-time applications have the highest priority. This category is
intended for applications with high demands on transmission
speed and reaction times (for example, internet telephony, IPTV,
video on demand). If an application of this category uses the
internet connection to full capacity, no other data will be trans­
mitted.
• Prioritized applications have intermediate priority. This category
is intended for applications that require fast reaction times (for
example, company access, terminal applications, games). These
applications will be granted higher priority. When an application of
this category uses the full capacity of the internet connection, the
data of other applications will be transferred with lower priority.
• Background applications have the lowest priority. This category is
for applications that run in the background, which are treated with
low priority when the internet connection is running at capacity
(for instance, automatic updates, peer-to-peer services). If no
other network applications are active, then the background appli­
cations receive the entire bandwidth.
Reserving Bandwidth for the Home Network
All of the network devices connected with the FRITZ!Box share the
bandwidth available on the connection. This means that devices in the
home network and in the guest network have to share bandwidth. You
