WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia)
The WMM page allows you to configure WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) feature. WMM is a
subset of the 802.11e wireless LAN (WLAN) specification that enhances quality of
service (QoS) on a network by prioritizing data packets according to their categories.
WMM enhances QoS at the wireless driver level. It provides a mechanism to prioritize
wireless data traffic to and from the associated (WMM capable) stations.
If you enable the WMM feature, you may need to decide whether or not to broadcast
Cable Modem/Router’s network name. Broadcasting allows you to easily recognize
your wireless network in the list of available networks. Once you have configured your
wireless clients, it is recommended that you disable the broadcasting feature.
