N300 Wireless Router JWNR2000v3

Enable 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 the

application and the client running that application must 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. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen by clearing the

Enable WMM 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 LAN (Ethernet) ports of the router

• A specific device by MAC address

To specify prioritization of traffic, create a policy for the type of traffic and add the policy to the

QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen. For convenience, the QoS Policy table lists many

common applications and online games that can benefit from QoS handling.

Set Up QoS for Applications and Online Gaming

 To create a QoS policy for applications and online games:

1. Select ADVANCED > Setup > QOS Setup.

The QOS Setup screen displays.

2. Select the Turn Internet Access QoS On check box.

3. Click Apply.

4. Click the Setup QoS Rule button.
