Features

QoS Engine

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.
