5.  To prioritize an application or game, select the name in the drop-down 

list, then click and drag the 

 icon next to the name to the High 

Priority list. 

 •

If the application name isn’t listed, click Edit and add the name. 

If you want to add a new application or game, you need 

to know its port and protocol information (see the 

application or game’s documentation for help).

6.  Click Settings. The Settings screen opens.

a.  Set the maximum Downstream Bandwidth. If you set the bandwidth 

lower than the actual bandwidth of your router, performance may be 

limited.

b.  Set the maximum Upstream Bandwidth.
c.  To help manage traffic priority with devices that support WMM, turn 

on WMM Support.

WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) Support is a wireless feature 

based on the IEEE 802.11e standard. WMM improves 

quality for audio, video, and voice applications by 

prioritizing wireless traffic. This feature requires that the 

wireless client devices in your network also support WMM.

d.  To have the router re-send data if an error occurs, turn off No 

Acknowledgement. 

If you specify a maximum bandwidth that is too high, the 

router cannot apply priorities correctly, and prioritization 

problems may result.

e.  Click OK.

Do I need to configure Voice over IP? VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a 

technology for using the Internet as an interface for telephone communications. 

To use VoIP, you need to get an account with a VoIP service provider. The VoIP 

service provider typically provides you with a telephone adapter that connects 

to your network. If you do not use your network to make phone calls, you don’t 

need to change the default settings.
The  Application Layer Gateway SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) allows SIP 

packets, used by some VOIP service providers, to get through your router’s 

firewall.
