Using the Wi-Fi Multimedia Option
Use the Wi-Fi Multimedia option to configure the quality of service (QoS) to ensure the
best service in your wireless networks.
Controls WLAN transmission priority on packets transmitted over the wireless network.
Wi-Fi Multi-Media Quality of Service (WMM QoS) is a part of the IEEE 802.11e QoS
enhancement to certified Wi-Fi wireless networks.
WMM QoS prioritizes wireless traffic according to the delivery requirements of the
individual user and applications. On wireless access points without WMM QoS, all
traffic streams are given the same access priority to the wireless network. If a new
traffic stream creates a data transmission demand that exceeds the current network
capacity, the new traffic stream reduces the throughput of the other traffic streams.
MAC Addresses
Defines the MAC addresses. Note: You may cut and paste
MAC addresses from the connected clients list at the bottom
of the screen.
Apply
Saves changes when clicked.
Connected Clients
Lists wireless clients currently connected listed by MAC
address.
MAC Address
– Displays the MAC addresses entered in
the MAC Addresses field (see above).
Age(s)
– Displays the duration since the wireless client’s
polled values were sent to the device. The values include
all information shown on this screen. The lower the
number, the more current its data.
RSSI(dBm)
– Displays the received signal strength from
the device to the wireless cable modem. This value is
commonly used to assist in troubleshooting wireless
performance issues. A signal strength between 0dBm
and -65dBm is considered optimal. Levels of -66dBm and
lower (for example, -70, -80, etc.) have a downward
impact on wireless data throughput. Refer to
Understanding Received Signal Strength on page 83
for
more information.
IP Address
– Displays the IP address assigned to this
wireless client.
Host Name
– Displays the host name of the wireless
client.
Mode
– Indicates the applicable 802.11a/b/g/n standard
used by the connected client device.
Speed (kbps)
– Displays the maximum theoretical link
speed negotiated
between the wireless gateway and the
client, not including the overhead associated with
encryption, and so on.
For example, actual speeds with
WEP encryption enabled a
re typically less than half of the
negotiated link speed. TKIP encryption can also affect
performance. AES is the most efficient and secure with
the highest throughput possible. You can disable WMM if
throughput on some client adapters is adversely affected.
