# How to	configure QoS	(Quality of	Service) settings?

Note: This QoS Engine will allow you to prioritize particular clients over others, so that those\
clients receive higher bandwidth. For example, if one client is streaming a movie and another is\
downloading a non-urgent file, you might wish to assign the former device a higher priority\
than the latter so that the movie streaming is not disrupted by the traffic of the other device on\
the network.

To assign a priority level to a device, drag the device card from the **Connected Clients**\
list to an empty slot and release the mouse button. The card will move to the priority slot. If\
you want to remove a priority assignment from a device and return it to the All Devices list,\
click the cross icon in the top right of the device card.

• A maximum of two devices can be assigned **High** priority.\
• A maximum of eight devices can be assigned **Medium** priority.
