WMM

On the Wi-Fi / WMM page, you can enable the Wi-Fi Multimedia function. To configure the
2.4GHz band or 5GHz band, go to the relevant tab.
The WMM function implements the QoS features for Wi-Fi networks. It helps to improve the
quality of data transfer over Wi-Fi networks by prioritizing different types of traffic.
Select the needed action from the Work mode drop-down list to configure the WMM function:
• Auto: the settings of the WMM function are configured automatically (the value is
specified by default).
• Manual: the settings of the WMM function are configured manually. When this value is
selected, the Access Point and Station sections are displayed on the page.
!
All needed settings for the WMM function are specified in the device's system. Changing
parameters manually may negatively affect your WLAN!
The WMM function allows assigning priorities for four Access Categories (AC):
• BK (Background), low priority traffic (print jobs, file downloads, etc.).
•
BE (Best Effort), traffic from legacy devices or devices/applications that do not support
QoS.
•
VI (Video).
•
VO (Voice).
Parameters of the Access Categories are defined for both the router itself (in the Access Point
section) and wireless devices connected to it (in the Station section).
