With WLAN, the available data speed is generally evenly distributed across laptops, gaming consoles, etc. But if the kids are gaming online while you’re on an important video conference, things can get choppy. However, such a scenario can be avoided with a few simple settings. We’ll show you how it works in our tuning guide for Fritzbox routers.
The more devices there are in the (WLAN) network, the greater the chance that they will get in each other’s way in terms of data flow or response times to server requests (ping) – and therefore not function optimally. For example, if the Netflix stream sputters every now and then, it’s annoying, but not as bad as when Zoom meetings drop out or a stable connection to the corporate network can’t be established. The Fritzbox ‘prioritization’ function offers a solution, where the router settings determine exactly which devices or applications are given priority when the internet connection is at full capacity.
In our example scenario we show you step by step how to ensure that home office computers are always preferred in the home WLAN. In addition, the gaming console should also be given priority by young people – but only if the company’s laptops are not active. Such prioritization is also recommended if, for example, TV, home theater or other video and audio equipment are dependent on the Internet.
