Nighthawk X4S AC2600 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D7800
WMM QoS prioritizes WiFi 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 on
both the application 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.
WMM QoS is automatically enabled for the modem router. In some circumstances you might want to disable WMM.
