5.4.7. Setting priorities for types of data according to available
bandwidth
WMM allows you to assign priority in relation to the types of data circulating on the network. If this option is
ticked, the priorities are assigned as follows:
For example, if bandwidth is insufficient to allow for the simultaneous transit of a phone call via the Internet,
watching a video, surfing the Internet and a download, the WMM function will hold off on the download, surfing
the Internet, and the video. The objective is to guarantee optimal comfort of use for the main task at hand.
You can freely enable or disable this option. Be aware, however, that if you disable this option, bandwidth will
be split up between all current tasks, without order of priority, which can be detrimental to your comfort of use
(for example, untimely disruptions in your phone calls via the Internet or your videos, or a slowdown in terms
of your downloads).
The WMM function is only compatible with other WMM devices.
