Home networks are used for much more than just browsing the web. People are using their broadband Internet connections and wireless networks to make voice calls, play games, listen to music, watch videos, and share files. Many home networking products are not designed for media applications. People experience lag and disruptions when regular home networking products are used to stream media. Media needs special treatment.

StreamEngine automatically detects media applications and gives them priority on the network. StreamEngine uses hardware and software to improve the quality of media on home networks without any configuration.
