Windows Media Center

Enables the router to recognize certain audio and video streams generated by a Windows Media Center PC and to prioritize these above other traffic. Such streams are used by systems known as Windows Media Extenders, such as the Xbox 360.

Automatic

When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically attempt to prioritize traffic streams that it doesn't otherwise recognize, based on the behaviour that the streams exhibit. This acts to deprioritize streams that exhibit bulk transfer characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving interactive traffic, such as gaming or VoIP, running at a normal priority.

Add/Edit WISH Rule

A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications, the priority classifiers ensure the right priorities and specific WISH Rules are not required.

WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a specific message flow, the rule with the highest priority will be used.

Enable

Specifies whether the entry will be active or inactive.

Name

Create a name for the rule that is meaningful to you.

Priority

The priority of the message flow is entered here. Four priorities are defined:

BK: Background (least urgent).

BE: Best Effort.

VI: Video.

VO: Voice (most urgent).

Protocol

The protocol used by the messages.

Host 1 IP Range

The rule applies to a flow of messages for which one computer's IP address falls within the range set here.

Host 1 Port Range

The rule applies to a flow of messages for which host 1's port number is within the range set here.

Host 2 IP Range

The rule applies to a flow of messages for which the other computer's IP address falls within the range set here.
