Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service

Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) prioritizes WiFi voice and video traffic
over the WiFi link. WMM QoS is automatically enabled for the router.
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 for both it and the WiFi 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.
Note: We recommend that you do not disable the WMM settings. If you disable the
WMM settings for 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, the maximum link rate your router can reach is
54 Mbps.
To disable the WMM settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
