Wi-Fi Multimedia and Quality of Service Settings

Use the WMM page to enable Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) quality of service features
on the selected wireless network. You also can assign different processing
priorities to different types of traffic.
To open this page: From the Wireless > Basic Settings page, select a network,
and then click Edit WMM.
If needed, select a different network in the SSID list.
To enable WMM, check the Enable box. WMM helps in prioritizing wireless traffic
according to four access categories:
• Voice (highest priority, 4)
• Video (high priority, 3)
• Best effort (medium priority, 2)
• Background (lowest priority, 1)
In the DSCP to Queue table, for each ingress DSCP, you can choose the output
queue for the traffic. The Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field identifies
the data packet, and the output queue identifies the priority in which the packet is
transmitted:
• Voice (4) or Video (3)—High priority queue, minimum delay. Typically used to
send time-sensitive data such as video and other streaming media.
• Best Effort (2)—Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most
traditional IP data is sent to this queue.
• Background (1)—Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that
requires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is typically sent to
this queue (FTP data, for example).
Note: If you saved changes to the DSCP settings, you can revert to the default
values by clicking the Restore Defaults button.
Click Save to save your settings, or click Cancel to reload the page with the
current settings. Click Back to return to the Wireless > Basic Settings page.
If you need to edit the settings for another network, select it from the SSID list, and
then repeat this procedure.
