Advanced Qos Settings - NETGEAR WNAP210 User Manual

RIFS Transmission. Reduced interframe space. RIFS transmissions are shorter than
•
other interframe spaces, and if this feature is enabled, the access point allows
transmission of successive frames at different transmit powers. The default is disabled.
DTIM Interval. The delivery traffic indication message. Specifies the data beacon rate
•
between 1 and 255. The default is 3.
Preamble Type. A long transmit preamble can provide a more reliable connection or a
•
slightly longer range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance. The Auto
setting automatically handles both long and short preambles. The default is Auto.

Advanced QoS Settings

Wireless Multimedia (WMM) is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM allows wireless traffic
to have a range of priorities, depending on the type of data. Time-dependent information,
such as video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function
correctly, wireless clients have to support WMM.
For most networks, the default QoS (Quality of Service) queue settings work well. You can
specify parameters on multiple queues for increased throughput and better performance of
differentiated wireless traffic, like VoIP, and other types of audio, video, and streaming media,
as well as traditional IP data.
The QoS options are as follows:
AP EDCA parameters. Specify the AP EDCA parameters for different types of data
•
transmitted from the access point to the wireless client.
Station EDCA parameters. Specify the Station EDCA parameters for different types of
•
data transmitted from the wireless client to the access point. If WMM is disabled, you
cannot configure Station EDCA parameters.
