Manage Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service

Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) prioritizes WiFi voice and video traffic over the WiFi link.
WMM QoS prioritizes WiFi 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, WMM must be
enabled on both the application and the client running that application. 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 automatically enabled for the router. In some circumstances you might want to disable WMM.
To manage WMM QoS:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup.
The QoS Setup page displays.
5. Disable or enable WMM QoS by doing the following:
• To disable WMM QoS for the 2.4 GHz radio, clear the Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings
(2.4GHz b/g/n) check box.
• To enable WMM QoS for the 2.4 GHz radio, select the Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings
(2.4GHz b/g/n) check box.
By default, WMM QoS is enabled for the 2.4 GHz radio.
• To disable WMM QoS for the 5 GHz radio, clear the Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings
(5GHz a/n) check box.
• To enable WMM QoS for the 5 GHz radio, select the Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings
(5GHz a/n) check box.
By default, WMM QoS is enabled for the 5 GHz radio.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.

Improve Network Connections With Universal Plug-N-Play

Universal Plug-N-Play (UPnP) helps devices such as Internet appliances and computers access the network
and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other
registered UPnP devices on the network.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications
such as instant messaging or remote assistance, keep UPnP enabled, which it is by default.
