How to optimize your router for gaming and voice

Your router can prioritize traffic between your network and the Internet. Performance for demanding,
real-time applications, such as online gaming, VoIP calls, video streaming, and videoconferencing, can
be improved by configuring media prioritization.
Prioritization settings are applied only to traffic that is uploaded to the Internet. The router cannot
control the quality of the traffic after it reaches the Internet.
Tip---- - For more information on optimizing your router for online gaming, see "Port Forwarding and
Port Triggering" on page 54.
To configure media prioritization:
1. Log in to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See ''How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi'' on page 10.)
2. Under Smart Wi-Fi Tools, click Media Prioritization. The Media Prioritization screen opens.
3. Turn on Prioritization if it is not already on.
4. Click and drag high-priority devices from the Normal Priority list to the High Priority list.
