QoS (Quality of Service)
Wireless
WMM Support Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a wireless
Quality of Service feature that improves quality for audio,
video, and voice applications by prioritizing wireless
traffic. To use this feature, the wireless client devices in
your network must support Wireless WMM. If you would
like to disable this feature, select Disabled. Otherwise,
keep the default, Enabled.
No Acknowledgement If you want to disable the Router’s
Acknowledgement feature, so the Router will not re-send
data if an error occurs, select Enabled. Otherwise, keep
the default, Disabled.
Internet Access Priority
In this section, you can set the bandwidth priority for a
variety of applications and devices. There are four levels
of priority; High, Medium, Normal, or Low. When you set
priority, do not set all applications to High, because this will
defeat the purpose of allocating the available bandwidth.
If you want to select below normal bandwidth, select Low.
Depending on the application, a few attempts may be
needed to set the appropriate bandwidth priority.
Enabled/Disabled To use the QoS policies you set, select
Enabled. Otherwise, select Disabled.
Category

Online Games, MAC Address, Ethernet Port, or Voice
Device. Proceed to the instructions for your selection.
