Qos For Managed Access Points; Advanced Qos Settings For Access Point Groups - NETGEAR WMS5316 - ProSafe 16-AP Wireless Management System Reference Manual

ProSafe 16 AP Wireless Management System WMS5316 Reference Manual
• Best Effort: The medium priority queue with medium delay is given to this queue. Most
standard IP application will use this queue.
• Background: Low priority queue with high throughput. Applications, such as FTP, which are
not time-sensitive but require high throughput can use this queue.
With WMM enabled, QoS prioritizes and coordinates wireless medium access. QoS settings on the
access point control downstream traffic to client station (AP EDCA parameters) and the upstream
traffic from the station to the access point (station EDCA parameters).
Disabling WMM deactivates QoS control of station EDCA parameters on upstream traffic flowing
from the station to the access point. With WMM disabled, you can still set some parameters on the
downstream traffic from the access point to the client station (AP EDCA parameters).
