WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications

The JWNR2000v2 router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to
prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides
prioritization of wireless 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, both it and the client running that application must be WMM enabled.
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.

QoS for Internet Access

To specify prioritization of traffic, you must create a policy for the type of traffic and add the
policy to the QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen.
To create a QoS policy:
From the main menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, select QoS Setup. The QoS
Setup screen displays:
WMM QoS is enabled by default. You can disable it by clearing the Enable WMM check box
and clicking Apply.
To create a QoS policy for applications or online games:
Select Advanced > QoS Setup.
