Wireless Quality of
Service (QoS)
Select whether to enable wireless quality of service standards, and click
Apply to save the settings. Click Reset to return to previously saved values.
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) QoS: Enables or disables the Enhanced
Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) mechanism in the MAC layer. If
enabled, the MAC mode is set to EDCA and signaling between the AP and
client station follow the procedures specified in the WMM specification. If
disabled the MAC mode is set to DCF. Default is Enable.
IEEE 802.11e QoS: Enables or disables the Enhanced Distributed Channel
Access (EDCA) mechanism in the MAC layer. If enabled, the MAC mode
is set to EDCA and signaling between the AP and client station follow the
procedures specified in the 802.11e specification. If disabled, then the
MAC mode is DCF. Default is Enable. 802.11e QoS works only if the AP
and client station both support True MIMO™.

Click Reset to return to previously saved values.
Enhanced Data Rates: Enable or disable the True MIMO™ enhanced data
rates (72, 96, and 108 Mbps). This setting is rejected if the enhanced Dot11
extensions are disabled and an attempt is made to configure enhanced data
rates. It is recommended that you accept the default of Enable.
Rate Adaptation: Enables or disables automatic data rate adaptation in the
system. To use auto-adaptation, select the Auto Adapt button and select the
Basic or Advanced option. Otherwise, select fixed, along with a fixed rate.
It is recommended that you accept the default value of Auto Adapt and
Basic.
Ack Mode: Determines the acknowledgement policy for data packets. The
following selections are available:
immediate-ack: Acknowledgement sent for every packet received
(default)
burst-ack: Proprietary acknowledgement mode that increases peak
throughput in environments where Airgo True MIMO data rates are
reliably sustained
auto-ack-policy: No acknowledgement sent when data packets are
received
- To enable high performance, use this setting together with one of
the enhanced data rates.
- If this setting is used, auto-adaptation cannot be enabled for the
selected radio. Only the fixed rate setting applies.
- This mode setting can be used for operations with Airgo clients.
