Device Priority
July 23, 2024
Has your internet ever slowed at the worst possible moment like in the middle of a crucial meeting or while watching the winning touchdown of your favorite football team? Make slow connectivity during crucial moments a thing of the past with MidSouth Fiber Internet’s Device Priority.
While your internet speeds should always remain consistent, multiple Wi-Fi activities taking place at one time can cause network congestion. Assigning priority to important devices, like your computer while working from home or the den TV during a football game, ensures consistent connectivity where you need it most.
With the MidSouth Fiber app, users can prioritize specific devices during set time frames to ensure adequate speed is maintained.
Download the MidSouth Fiber app from the App Store or Google Play to get started today.
