1. A method for providing a dynamic flow control for latency sensitive Wi-Fi traffic, the method comprising:
determining a path is congested, wherein the path is shared by local devices to connect to a remote device, wherein the local devices comprise one or more wireless devices or one or more wired devices;
calculating, for each of the one or more wireless devices, a weight based on a respective link quality and a respective signal strength; and
prioritizing traffic, between the local devices and the remote device via the path, by increasing a priority of traffic associated with the local devices based on a link quality less than a quality threshold or a signal strength less than a signal strength threshold.
