Prioritize Internet Traffic With Quality Of Service; Wmm Qos For Wireless Multimedia Applications - NETGEAR R6050 User Manual

Prioritize Internet Traffic with Quality of Service

Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of
traffic ahead of others. The router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on
the Internet connection.

WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications

The 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 must 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.
To disable WMM QoS:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.0.1.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup.
