Manage by Application lets you prioritize specic kinds of trac across all connected
devices to optimize your Internet experience. Under Applications, there are six types of trac
cards: Streaming Media, Online Chat & Mail, Games, Web & Social Network, File Transfer &
P2P, and Others. If some are o-screen, you can use the arrow icons on either side of the
page to scroll through the cards.
One application can be assigned Highest priority.
Two applications can be assigned High priority.
Three applications can be assigned Medium priority.
If no applications types are explicitly assigned a priority, they will all be treated with equal
priority. If some devices are not assigned a priority and others are, the unassigned application
types will be treated with the lowest priority.
To assign a priority level to an application type, drag the desired card from the Applications
list over an empty slot and release the mouse button. The card will remain in the slot. If
you want to remove a priority assignment from an application type and return it to the
Applications list, click the x icon in the top right of the card.
For example, if you are experiencing poor quality VoIP phone calls or video chat due to
excessive downloads, you can use the conguration displayed to the right to prioritize your
calls and chats over other application types.
Be sure to keep your router rmware updated as new application trac denitions are
included.
Click Save when you are done.
