Configure QoS for Profile Groups

Quality of Service (QoS) works by default. Change QoS only if there is a reason, such as
device vendor specifications that require you to use different settings.
Using QoS Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) ensures that the applications that require better
throughput and performance are provided special queues with higher priority. For example,
video and audio applications are given higher priority over applications such as FTP. WMM
defines the following four queues in decreasing order of priority:
• Voice. The highest priority queue with minimum delay, which makes it ideal for
applications such as voice over IP (VoIP) and streaming media.
• Video. The second highest priority queue with low delay is given to this queue. Video
applications are routed to this queue.
• Best Effort. The medium priority queue with medium delay is given to this queue. Most
standard IP applications use this queue.
• Background. Low priority queue with high throughput. Applications, such as FTP, that
are not time-sensitive but require high throughput can use this queue.
QoS prioritization and coordination of wireless medium access is on. QoS settings on the
access point control downstream traffic, flowing from the access point to the client station (AP
Enhanced Distributed Channel Access [EDCA] parameters) and the upstream traffic flowing
from the client station to the access point (Station EDCA parameters).
