Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service

Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) prioritizes wireless voice and video traffic

over the WiFi link. WMM QoS is automatically enabled for the router.

WMM QoS prioritizes 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.



To disable WMM QoS:

1.

Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the

network.
