WMM
On the
Wi-Fi / WMM
page, you can enable the Wi-Fi Multimedia function.
The WMM function implements the QoS features for Wi-Fi networks. It helps to improve the
quality of data transfer over Wi-Fi networks by prioritizing different types of traffic.
To enable the function, select the
WMM
checkbox and click the
Change
button.
Figure 92. The page for configuring the WMM function.
!
All needed settings for the WMM function are specified in the device's system. It is
recommended not to change the default values.
The WMM function allows assigning priorities for four Access Categories (AC):
AC_BK
(
Background
), low priority traffic (print jobs, file downloads, etc.).
AC_BE
(
Best Effort
), traffic from legacy devices or devices/applications that do not support
QoS.
AC_VI
(
Video
).
AC_VO
(
Voice
).
Parameters of the Access Categories are defined for both the router itself (in the
Parameters of
Access Point
section) and wireless devices connected to it (in the
Parameters of Station
section).
