Add A Device For Traffic Prioritization - NETGEAR XR500 Nighthawk User Manual

To prioritize traffic for a device and view prioritization information:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Select QoS.
5. Scroll down to the Traffic Prioritization pane.
By default, traffic prioritization for DumaOS classified games is enabled. DumaOS classified games is
a preset list of games and covers all console games and most PC games. If you enable traffic prioritization
for all DumaOS classified games, your router automatically applies traffic prioritization when it detects
games. We recommend that you keep this setting enabled.
You can manually add your own service or port/port range by clicking the ADD DEVICE button and then
choosing the service or port/port range you would like to add.
6. To manually add a device for traffic prioritization, do the following in the Devices pane:
a. From the All Devices section, clear the Enabled check box.
Your router no longer automatically applies traffic prioritization when it detects games.
b. Click the ADD DEVICE button.
The Traffic Prioritization Selector window opens and the detected devices display.
c. Select your device.
d. Select a service.
By default, the Basic radio button is selected and a preset list of games display. We recommend
that you manually select a service only if you consider yourself an advanced user.
e. To display other selection criteria, select the Advanced radio button, and enter the start and end
numbers for the source port, enter the start and end numbers for the destination port, and select
the protocol.
f. Click DONE.
The device is added to the Traffic Prioritization pane and its traffic is now prioritized.
The Traffic Prioritization Information pane displays the total number of high-priority packets, the
total number of background packets, and the total number of unprioritized packets. This information
is displayed for both uploaded packets and downloaded packets.
If high-priority traffic is automatically being prioritized, a colored circle displays in the Traffic
Prioritization Information pane next to High Priority Traffic Detected.
