Can you Prioritize devices on WiFi?

Yes, you can set bandwidth priority for devices on a WiFi network. It is contingent on the feature being supported by the router. Routers from major OEMs like Netgear, Asus, TP-Link, and D-Link come with an inbuilt feature called QoS, which allows you to prioritize your internet based on the type of activity or a specific device.

QoS allows you to get the most out of your internet bandwidth. By enabling devices or a specific type of service/traffic to be prioritized, users get the flexibility to customize it according to their preferences, making the experience seamless.
