N150 Wireless Router User Manual
Using WMM for Wireless Multimedia Applications
The WNR1000v3h2 router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) to prioritize wireless voice and
video traffic over the wireless link. WMM 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, both it and the client running
that application must be WMM enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM, and
applications that do not require, are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a
lower priority than voice and video. WMM QoS is enabled by default.
Quality of Service
Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of
traffic ahead of others. The WNR1000v3h2 router can provide QoS prioritization on the
Internet connection. To configure QoS, use the QoS Setup screen.
From the main menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, select QoS Setup. The QoS
Setup screen displays:

Using WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications
The WNR1000v3h2 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 must be 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. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen, shown in
Figure 8
on page 69, by clearing the Enable WMM check box and clicking Apply.
