QoS Setup

QoS is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some Internet applications and
online gaming, and to minimize the impact when the bandwidth is busy.
From the main menu, select QoS Setup to display the following screen:

Description
WMM (Wireless Multimedia) is a subset of the 802.11e standard.
WMM allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities depending
on the kind of data. Time-dependent information, such as video or
audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function
correctly, wireless clients must also support WMM.
If you enable QoS, the QoS function works to prioritize Internet
access traffic. For the applications that already exist in the
drop-down list (e.g., On-line Gaming, Ethernet LAN Port, or a
specified MAC address), you can modify the priority level by clicking
the Edit button, or clicking the Delete button to erase the priority
rule. Otherwise, you can also define the priority policy for online
gaming, an application, a LAN port, or the computer's MAC address
by clicking the Add Priority Rule button.
To set up the total maximum uplink bandwidth, click the Check
button to detect current uplink bandwidth that will help you to
determinate the maximum bandwidth setting.
