Saving Settings and Testing

After configuring your priorities, tap “Save” or “Apply” to activate QoS. Restart your devices if necessary.

Test your gaming or streaming experience to ensure the QoS settings are working effectively. You should notice reduced lag and buffering during high-traffic periods.
