1. Log into your router’s admin page. Each router manufacturer has a different way to do this, so consult your router’s user manual.
2. Find the QoS (Quality of Service) or “traffic shaping” settings.
3. Look for the setting that allows you to prioritize a specific device or type of traffic (i.e. streaming video, gaming, etc.).
4. Enter the MAC address of the device you want to prioritize. This address can usually be found in the device’s settings.
5. Select the priority level for the device. This could be a range from “low” to “highest” or “normal” to “max”.
6. Save your settings.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 for any other devices or types of traffic you want to prioritize.
1. Log in to your router’s settings page, usually found in a web browser at http://192.168.0.1 or something similar.
2. Look for the QoS (Quality of Service) settings. This is where you can prioritize certain devices on your network by assigning them a higher priority than others.
3. Choose the device you want to give priority to and assign it a priority level. The higher the priority level, the more traffic will be directed to it.
4. Save your changes and restart the router for the changes to take effect.
1. Connect to your router’s web-based setup page.
2. Look for the Quality of Service (QoS) option in the router setup page.
3. Create a list of the devices that need to be given priority.
4. For each device, create a rule assigning it a priority level.
5. Activate the rule and save the settings.
6. Reboot the router so the new settings take effect.
