Port Range If you selected Port Range, then this category will be available. It allows you to enter the port
range that the application will be using. For example, if you want to allocate bandwidth for FTP,
you can enter 21-21. If you need services for an application that uses from 1000 to 1250, you
enter 1000-1250 as your settings. You can have up to three ranges to define for this bandwidth
allocation. Port numbers can range from 1 to 65535. Check your application's documentation
for details on the service ports used.
MAC Address If you selected MAC Address, then this category will be available. Enter the 12 hexadecimal
digit MAC Address to represent the device you want to set as a bandwidth priority. This is a
unique identifier for your network device. When the Router identifies the device entered, the
Router will allocate the priority set for that entry. Check the device’s documentation to obtain
the MAC Address.
Priority Select the bandwidth priority for the application you selected. Select High, Medium, Normal,
or Low for the bandwidth, but don’t set all applications to High. Once you have made your
selection, click Add to add to the Summary list.
