Prioritizing Devices
The "Prioritize this device" setting in the details of network devices in the home network is an easy way to ensure that individual devices receive preferential treatment over other devices. When this setting is enabled, your device is added to the prioritized devices with real-time applications.
This function uses the prioritization from the filter settings ("Internet / Filters / Prioritization"), which can be switched on and off for a single device conveniently in the "Home Network / Network / Network Connections" area.
Example
You would like to participate from your workplace at home in an important video conference without any interference, using the internet connection exclusively.
Instructions: Prioritizing a Device
Important:Prioritizing a device can result in restrictions for other devices and applications with a lower priority.
- Select "Home Network / Network / Network Connections".
- Click in the "Active Connections" overview on the "Edit"
button for the device you would like to prioritize. - In the "Access Properties" section, enable the settings "Prioritize this device".
- Click on "OK" to save.
The device is prioritized over all other devices in the home network: Whenever the internet connection is being used to full capacity, only such highly prioritized data will be transmitted.
- In the "Active Connections" overview, the prioritization of the device is designated in the device properties with the "Real-time prioritization" icon
.
This preferential treatment of this device remains in effect until you disable this option.
