Priorities Screen
The StreamBoost engine on the NBG6817 can identify the types of connected devices (such as PC,
smart phone, tablet, TV or game console) in your network. When there is not enough bandwidth to
support traffic of the same priority, the NBG6817 refers to the connected device priority. Traffic
from the device with the lowest priority is classified as best-effort traffic.
Use this screen to prioritize the connected devices by clicking a device’s arrow button to change its
position in the list. Click
Save
to apply your settings. Otherwise, click
Cancel
to return the screen
to its last-saved settings.

StreamBoost provides a cloud-based service to learn any new type of traffic which is not
in its database and update the table in the NBG6817 for traffic detection and policies.
Select this option to have theNBG6817 automatically receives the StreamBoost table
updates. When there is a new type of traffic which is not in the NBG6817’s table, the
NBG6817 will capture some packets and send them to the StreamBoost cloud for
analysis and database update.

USB Media Sharing Screen
You can set up your NBG6817 to act as a media server to provide media (like video) to DLNA-
compliant players, such as Windows Media Player, ZyXEL DMAs (Digital Media Adapters), Xboxes or
PS3s. The media server and clients must have IP addresses in the same subnet.
The NBG6817 media server enables you to:
•
Publish all folders for everyone to play media files in the USB storage device connected to the
NBG6817.
•
Use hardware-based media clients like the DMA-2500 to play the files.
Note: Anyone on your network can play the media files in the published folders. No user
name and password nor other form of security is required.
The following figure is an overview of the NBG6817’s media server feature. DLNA devices
A
and
B
can access and play files on a USB device (
C
) which is connected to the NBG6817 (
D
).

UPnP Screen
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for
simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network.
In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.
Use this screen to enable UPnP on your NBG6817.
