Category. From this drop-down menu, you can select the Category for which you will set bandwidth priority.

These Categories include applications, ethernet ports, MAC addresses, and online games.

Application. With this option you can select None, Add a New Application, Online Game, or select from the list of applications you want to set. To create a new entry, select Add a New Application, and refer to the Add a New Application section.

Priority. Select the bandwidth priority for the application you selected. Select High, Medium, Normal, or Low for the bandwidth you need for that application. Don’t set all applications to High, because this will defeat the purpose of allocating the available bandwidth. If you want to select below normal bandwidth, select Low. Depending on the application, a few attempts may be needed to achieve your goal. Once you have made your selection, click Add to add to the Summary list.

Category	Select from Port Range or MAC Address for the Router to use to set the bandwidth priority.
Port Range	If you selected Port Range, then this category will be available. It allows you to enter the port
	range that the application will be using. For example, if you want to allocate bandwidth for
	FTP, you can enter 21-21. If you need services for an application that uses from 1000 to 1250,
	you enter 1000-1250 as your settings. You can have up to three ranges to define for this
	bandwidth allocation. Port numbers can range from 1 to 65535. Check your application's
	documentation for details on the service ports used.
MAC Address	If you selected MAC Address, then this category will be available. Enter the 12 hexadecimal
	digit MAC Address to represent the device you want to set as a bandwidth priority. This is a
	unique identifier for your network device. When the Router identifies the device entered, the
	Router will allocate the priority set for that entry. Check the device’s documentation to obtain
	the MAC Address.
