Hi pesss,

Please follow the steps below if you want to prioritize the device that you are connecting from:

1. Select the radio button on the left of the device that you wish to setup the prioritization for.

2. Everything will be auto-populated.

3. Change the priority level (Low, Normal, High, Highest).

4. Rename the device (optional).

5. Rename the QoS policy (optional).

6. Click on Apply. Clicking on Add will result to the error that you are encountering.

7. It will then redirect you to the QoS Priority Rule list. Make sure the QoS policy name is on it.

Regards,

Dexter

Hi Dexter,

Thanks for your reply, that is exactly what i am doing. However, as the original OP i cannot add my rule. I want to prioritize the device i am connecting from (or any other it doesnt affect the problem). So i am selecting the radio button and the fields are auto populated. If i dont change the auto generated name when i try to apply there is an error 'Rule name already exists', if i edit the name it says ' Rule already exists'. But i have no MAC address rules applied?

No matter the device/MAC address/name i the system doesnt let me to add a MAC based rule.

Thanks
