Change The Priority For A Connected Device [Router Mode] - NETGEAR WAX204 User Manual

WiFi 6 AX1800 Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAX204
6. Enter the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the access point broadcasts its UPnP
information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30
minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points detect current device status
at the expense of more network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the
freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic.
7. Enter the advertisement time to live in hops.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP
packet sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops
can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4
hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices
are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this
value.
8. Click the Apply button.
If the access point is in router mode, the UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address
of each UPnP device that is accessing the access point and which ports (internal and
external) that device opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of
port is open and whether that port is still active for each IP address.
9. If the access point is in router mode, to refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap
table, click the Refresh button.
Change the priority for a connected device
[router mode]
If the access point is in router mode and you enabled QoS (Enable QoS and automatically
set the Internet bandwidth on page 100 or Enable QoS and manually set the Internet
bandwidth on page 101), the access point automatically assigns a priority to any device
that connects to it. By default, an attached device receives a medium priority. However,
the device with which you connect to the local browser UI of the access point receives
a high priority. You can change the priority for an attached device so that it receives a
different treatment in the access point network.
To change the priority for an attached device:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
access point network.
2. Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the
access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not
