QoS Engine
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.
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.
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.
