WISH Settings
WISH is short for Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling, a technology developed to enhance your experience of using
a wireless network by prioritizing the trafc of different applications.
Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to
prioritize your trafc.
Enable WISH:
Allows the router to recognize HTTP transfers
for many common audio and video streams
and prioritize them above other trafc. Such
streams are frequently used by digital media
players.
HTTP:
Enables the router to recognize certain audio
and video streams generated by a Windows
Media Center PC and to prioritize these above
other trafc. Such streams are used by systems
known as Windows Media Extenders, such as
the Xbox 360.
Windows Media
Center:
When enabled, this option causes the router to
automatically attempt to prioritize trafc streams
that it doesn’t otherwise recognize, based on
the behaviour that the streams exhibit. This
acts to deprioritize streams that exhibit bulk
transfer characteristics, such as le transfers,
while leaving interactive trafc, such as gaming
or VoIP, running at a normal priority.
Automatic:
WISH Rules:
A WISH Rule identies a specic message ow and assigns a priority to that ow. For most applications, the priority
classiers ensure the right priorities and specic WISH Rules are not required.
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a specic message ow, the rule with the highest
priority will be used.
