Quality Of Service (Qos) Setup - NETGEAR WNR3500Lv2 User Manual

Quality of Service (QoS) Setup

QoS is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of
others. The N300 Wireless Router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and
on the Internet connection. To configure QoS, use the QoS Setup screen.
Select Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup to display the following screen:
Enable WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications
The N300 Wireless Router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to
prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides
prioritization of 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, both it and the client running that application have to have WMM
enabled. 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 enabled by default, and the Enable WMM check box is selected. NETGEAR
recommends that you leave this setting as it is for full N rate support. You can disable it in the
QoS Setup screen by clearing this check box and clicking Apply.
Set Up QoS for Internet Access
You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic:
•
Specific applications
•
Specific online games
•
Individual Ethernet LAN ports of the router
•
A specific device by MAC address
