Under
Connected Clients
, you will see client cards representing each device. If some
client cards are off-screen, you can use the
<
and
>
buttons to scroll left and right.
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 connected clients are not assigned a priority, all devices will be treated with equal
priority. If some devices are assigned a priority and others are not, the unassigned
devices will be treated with the lowest priority.
Quality of Service (QoS) improves data flow. It allows you to prioritize clients, so that high-priority 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 client a higher priority, so that
the movie streaming is not disrupted by the traffic of the other devices on the network.
From the
Features
menu on the bar on the top of the page, click
QoS Engine
.
To assign a priority level to a device, drag the device card from the
Connected Clients
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
Connected Clients
list, click the cross icon in the top right corner of the device card.
Click
Save
when you are done.
