Media Prioritization Tool allows you to set higher priority and increase bandwidth allocation to selected devices and streaming applications. This article will guide you through that process.

IMPORTANT:  Before you proceed in configuring this feature on your router, you need to know the different port numbers for the application or online game you want to prioritize. This can range from 0 to 65535. Check the documentation of the specific application or online game for more information.
