Wireless Network
The Gateway features Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM™) Support.
The No Acknowledgement feature is available only when
the WMM Support feature is enabled.
WMM Support
Wi-Fi Multimedia is a QoS feature defined
by WiFi Alliance before IEEE 802.11e was finalized. Now it
is part of IEEE 802.11e. When it is enabled, it provides four
priority queues for different types of traffic. It automatically
maps the incoming packets to the appropriate queues
based on QoS settings (in IP or layer 2 header). WMM
provides the capability to prioritize traffic in your
environment. If you have other devices on your network
that support WMM, keep the default, Enable. Otherwise,
select Dsable.
No ACK
If you want to disable the Gateway's
Acknowledgement feature, so the Gateway will not re-
send data if an error occurs, then keep the default, Enable.
Otherwise, select Dsable.
Internet Access Priority
Enable/Dsable To use the QoS policies you have set,
select Enable. Otherwise, select Dsable.
Set Internet Bandwdth This is used to set your Internet
connection's bandwidth. Select Auto (default) to set the
bandwidth automatically. To set the bandwidth manually,
select Manual, then enter the bandwidth in kbps.
Category
Select one of these categories: Applcatons, Onlne
Games, MAC Address, Ethernet Port, or Voce Devce.
Then proceed to the instructions below for your selection.
For each category, you can set the bandwidth priority to
one of four levels: Hgh, Medum, Normal, or Low. Be
careful not to set all your applications to High priority,
as this will defeat the purpose of allocating the available
bandwidth. For below-normal bandwidth, select Low.
Depending on the application, a few attempts may be
needed to set the appropriate bandwidth priority.
Applications
Applcatons Select the appropriate application: MSN
Messenger, Skype, or Yahoo Messenger. For any other
application, select Add a New Applcaton, then fill in the
Enter a Name and Port Range fields as detailed below in
"Add a New Application or Game".
