Note: This feature is only available with the latest version utility. Go to the ZyXEL

website to download the latest utility and firmware for your ZyXEL HomePlug

AV adapter.

You can configure the Powerline adapters on your network to give priority to

network traffic depending on its importance. When you set the priority of a

Powerline adapter, you set how quickly messages FROM your Powerline adapter

are sent in your Powerline network. Transmissions TO your Powerline adapter do

not receive any priority.

For example, if you have a file server on your home network to deliver music and

movie files to computers in your home, you should set the priority of the Powerline

adapter connected to this server to Medium. If video traffic is delivered too

slowly, quality problems may occur.

On the other hand, a Powerline adapter attached to a printer should have a low

priority setting since the slow delivery of messages will not affect the print job.

Similarly, if you want to prioritize any downloads from the Internet, set the

priority on the Powerline adapter attached to your Internet gateway to High.

Allocate priority settings based on application type as follows.
