5.15 WISH
Use the WISH (Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling) sub-menu to prioritize traffic for
various wireless applications, specific application protocols and specific computers on
the wireless network.
5.15.1 WISH
Enable WISH. Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to prioritize your traffic.
5.15.2 Priority Classifiers
HTTP. Allows the router to recognize HTTP transfers for many common audio and
video streams and prioritize them above other traffic. Such streams are frequently
used by digital media players.
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 do esn‟t otherwise recognize, based on the behavior that
the streams exhibit. This acts to de-prioritize streams that exhibit bulk transfer
characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving interactive traffic, such as gaming
or VoIP, running at a normal priority.
5.15.3 Add 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.
