Quality of Service (QoS)
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.
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 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.
QoS for Internet Access
To specify prioritization of traffic, you need to add or create a policy for the type of traffic.
