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.

Priority

Select the bandwidth priority for the application you selected. Select High, Medium, Normal,

 

or Low for the bandwidth, but don’t set all applications to High. Once you have made your

 

selection, click Add to add to the Summary list.
