How To Optimize Your Router For Gaming And Voice - Linksys WRT1900AC Mode D'emploi

HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR ROUTER FOR GAMING AND VOICE

Your router can prioritize traffic between your network and the Internet. Perfor-
mance for demanding, real-time applications, such as online gaming, VoIP calls,
video streaming, and videoconferencing, can be improved by configuring media
prioritization.
Prioritization settings are applied only to traffic that is uploaded to the Internet.
The router cannot control the quality of the traffic after it reaches the Internet.
Tip:
For more information on optimizing your router for online gaming, see "Port
Forwarding and Port Triggering" on page 40.
To configure media prioritization, do the following:
• Log in to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See "How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi" on
page 7.)
• Under Smart Wi-Fi Tools, click Media Prioritization. The Media Prioritization
screen opens.
• Turn on Prioritization if it is not already on.
• Click and drag high-priority devices from the Normal Priority list to the
High Priority list.
