Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality Of Service - NETGEAR AirCard Smart Cradle DC112A User Manual

7. Type the advertisement time to live in hops.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet
sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range
from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should
be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or
reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.
8. Click the Apply button.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing
the Smart Cradle and which ports (internal and external) that device has opened. The
UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is open and whether that port is still
active for each IP address.

Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service

Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) prioritizes wireless voice and video traffic
over the WiFi link. WMM QoS is automatically enabled for the cradle.
WMM QoS prioritizes 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, WMM must be enabled in the AirCard Smart Cradle and the client
running that application. 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.

To disable WMM QoS:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
Smart Cradle.
2. In the address field of the browser, enter http://netgear.cradle or http://192.168.100.1.
A login prompt displays.
3. Enter the cradle user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
