Disable Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service

Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) prioritizes WiFi voice and video traffic
over the 2.4 GHz band. By default, WMM QoS is 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 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, the maximum link rate your router can reach is 54 Mbps over the 2.4 GHz
band.
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.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Select Settings > Advanced Settings > Advanced Wireless.
The Advanced Wireless Settings page displays.
5. Clear the Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings (2.4GHz b/g/n) check box.
6. Click the Apply button.
