How To Set Priority For Unrecognised Games?
Am I correct in saying that a game should show as "High Priority Traffice Detected" on this picture?
What do you do if it doesn't? I guess it needs to be setup manually, but how do you do that? I m...
Sorry this is in two posts I seemed to have issue with formatting! But it doesnt actually seem to be prioritising anything despite priorities being set on the pc.
Anyone? There is an advanced option so there must be a way!
Traffic Prioritization automatically detects all console traffic, and most popular PC games. If you're not seeing it being detected, then you can manually add the ports the game rules. Click Add Device in the bottom left panel, then choose advanced. You can then give the ports from the game (Google these if you are not sure what they are).

Thank you for your reply, but that article doesn't actually explain port forwarding.
It calmly states to enter the manual configuration but to a noob like me the one question I have is how?
I mean for example I have been told that for one game I need to open port 10001. But the configuration talks in terms of configuing the source and destination port. What? I mean not a single game I have mentions that information. They just give one port.
I mean this is the entire point of the XR500 to me. It's supposed to make things easy and the one key area - port forwarding, it just doesn't explain at all!
Also attempting to enter anything actually crashes.
Sorr for splitting my last pos in two...
The error it gives is...
Error: RPC error 'ERROR_UNKNOWN': bad argument #1 to 'len' (string expected, got nil) -> stack traceback: ?: in function <?:73> [C]: in function 'len' ?: in function '?' ?: in function 'decode' ?: in function <?:50> (tail call): ? ?: in function <?:324> [C]: in function 'xpcall' ?: in function 'try' ?: in function <?:290> [C]: in function 'run' ?: in function <?:345> [C]: in function 'xpcall' ?: in function 'try' ?: in function <?:261> (tail call): ? /dumaos/api/cli.lua:48: in function </dumaos/api/cli.lua:30> [C]: in function 'xpcall' /dumaos/api/cli.lua:59: in main chunk [C]: ?
I mean this is supposed to be a gaming router, and port forwarding is not explained and crashes? SERIUOUSLY? I am just getting progressively angry with this right now. It was a lot of extra money for what seems to amount to sales hype.
