You can define the Internet access priority level for as
many categories as you want. The Summary section will
display all of the priority selections that you enter. Select
from the following categories:
• Applications Allows you to assign a priority level for a
pre-defined application or one that you add.
• Online Games Allows you to assign a priority level for
a pre-defined game or one that you add.
• MAC Address This option lets you prioritize network
traffic based on the device that is accessing the
network. For example, if you want your gaming
console to have higher priority accessing the Internet
than your computer, you can assign their priority levels
using their respective MAC addresses.
• Voice Device Voice devices require a higher priority
level. You can assign a higher priority level to voice
devices using their respective MAC addresses.
