Quality of Service (QoS)

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.
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 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 it and the client running that application have to 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.

QoS for Internet Access

To specify prioritization of traffic, you need to add or create a policy for the type of traffic.
Select Advanced > QoS Setup.
