N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010
Quality of Service (QoS) Setup
QoS is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of
others. The N150 4-Port Wireless Router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link
and on the Internet connection. To configure QoS, use the QoS Setup screen.
Select
Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup
to display the following screen:
Enable WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications
The N150 4-Port Wireless Router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS)
to prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides
prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four access
categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the
benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client running that application must have WMM
enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and applications that do not require
QoS, are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and
video.
WMM QoS is enabled by default. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen by clearing the
Enable WMM
check box and clicking
Apply
.
Set Up QoS for Internet Access
You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic:
Specific applications
Specific online games
Individual Ethernet LAN ports of the router
A specific device by MAC address
To specify prioritization of traffic, create a policy for the type of traffic and add the policy to the
QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen. For convenience, the QoS Policy table lists many
common applications and online games that can benefit from QoS handling.
