Bandwidth Management Wizard
This chapter shows you how to configure basic bandwidth management using the wizard
screens.
4.1 Introduction
Click the Bandwidth Management wizard option in the wizard language selection screen or
click the hyperlink in the final Connection Wizard screen.
Bandwidth management allows you to control the amount of bandwidth going out through the
Prestige's WAN port and prioritize the distribution of the bandwidth according to service
bandwidth requirements. This helps keep one service from using all of the available bandwidth
and shutting out other users.
