N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3
QoS Setup
Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of
traffic ahead of others. The modem router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless
link and on the Internet connection. You use the QoS Setup screen to set up QoS features.
The following sections describe the QoS features.
WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications
The modem router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to prioritize
wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS, which is enabled by
default, 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 the application 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. WMM QoS is enabled by default.
If the modem router functions in Up to 65 Mbps wireless mode or Up to 150 Mbps wireless
mode, you cannot disable WMM.
You can disable WMM only if the modem router functions in
Up to 54 Mbps wireless mode.
To disable WMM QoS if the modem router functions in Up to 54 Mbps wireless mode:
1. Select ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup.
2. Clear the Enable WMM check box.
3. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
