From the main menu, under Advanced, select
QoS Setup
. The QoS Setup screen displays:
Using WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications
The WNDR3400 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 be 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, shown in
Figure 6-2 on page 6-8
, by clearing the
Enable WMM
check box and clicking
Apply
.
Configuring QoS for Internet Access
You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic:
•
For specific applications
•
For specific online games
•
On individual Ethernet LAN ports of the router
•
From a specific device by MAC address

To specify prioritization of traffic, you must 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.
