4. Select Management > Configuration > Wireless > Basic > QoS Settings.
5. Enable or disable the following features for a radio by selecting the applicable Enable or Disable radio
buttons:
• Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM). WiFi Multimedia (WMM) is a subset of the 802.11e standard.
Time-dependent information such as video or audio is given higher priority than normal traffic. For
WMM to function correctly, WiFi clients must also support WMM. By enabling WMM, you allow
WMM to control upstream traffic flowing from WiFi devices to the access point and downstream
traffic flowing from the access point to WiFi devices. WMM defines the following four queues in
decreasing order of priority:
- Voice. The highest priority queue with minimum delay, which makes it very suitable for
applications such as VoIP and streaming media.
- Video. The second highest priority queue with low delay. Video applications are routed to this
queue.
- Best effort. The medium priority queue with medium delay. Most standard IP applications use
this queue.
- Background. The low priority queue with high throughput. Applications such as FTP that are
not time-sensitive but require high throughput can use this queue.
• WMM Powersave. Enabling the WMM Powersave feature saves power for battery-powered devices
and fine-tunes power consumption.
