Excuse me, but could you possibly clarify how one might go about changing their router settings to prioritize UDP traffic? I'm looking to optimize my network for certain online activities that rely heavily on UDP protocol. Is there a specific sequence of steps I should follow within my router's configuration interface, or are there any general tips you could share that might help me achieve this? I'm not particularly tech-savvy, so any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    To open a TCP/UDP port, the first step is to identify your router's IP address. This can typically be found by accessing your network settings on a connected device.

    Once you have the IP address, navigate to your router's settings page. This is usually done by entering the IP address into a web browser.

    Upon accessing the router's settings, you will need to enter your credentials, which typically consist of a username and password.

    After entering the necessary information, save your settings. This will apply the port forwarding rule and allow traffic to flow through the specified port.

    Once logged in, locate the Port Forwarding tab. This can vary depending on the router model, but it is generally found under the Advanced Settings or Network Settings section.
