If a large number of network devices are logged into a router, it can slow down Internet performance for a single device. So that important connections get the necessary bandwidth, you can set up rules and filters to prioritize certain devices and applications. There is one exception, however: as soon as a DECT telephone connection is established, it always has the highest priority so that the telephone call can be transmitted in good quality.
