WiFi Multimedia
WiFi Multimedia is an advanced feature that allows you to prioritize various types of data travelling over
the wireless network. Certain types of data that are sensitive to delays, such as voice or video, must be
prioritized ahead of other, less delay-sensitive types, such as email.
WiFi Multimedia currently implements wireless Quality of Service (QoS) by transmitting data depending
on Diffserv priority settings. These priorities are mapped into four Access Categories (AC), in increasing
order of priority:
K Background (BK),
K Best Effort (BE),
K Video (VI), and
K Voice (VO).

work settings, and client PC software that makes use of Differentiated Services (Diffserv). Refer to
your operating system instructions for enabling Diffserv QoS.
