WMM: The default is Disable. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Quality of Service (QoS) feature that
prioritizes wireless data packets based on four access categories: voice, video, best effort, and
background. Applications without WMM and applications that do not require QoS are assigned to the
best-effort category, which receives a lower priority than that of voice and video. Therefore, WMM
decides which data streams are more important and assigns them a higher traffic priority. This option
works with WMM-capable clients only.
<To receive the benefits of WMM QoS>
▬ The application must support WMM.
▬ WMM shall be enabled on the Access Point.
▬ WMM shall be enabled in the wireless adapter on client’s computer.
IAPP: IAPP (Inter Access Point Protocol) is a protocol by which access points share information about
the stations connected to them. When this function is enabled, the system will automatically broadcast
information of associated wireless stations to its peer access points. This will help wireless stations
roam smoothly among IAPP-enabled access points in the same wireless LAN.
IGMP Snooping: When IGMP snooping is enabled, IGMP packets are transferred via the Access
Point’s network interface and the IP multicast host. Registration information is recorded and sorted
into multicast groups. The internal switch can then intelligently forward traffic only to those ports that
request multicast traffic. Adversely, without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated like broadcast
traffic, with packets forwarded to all ports causing network inefficiencies.
Multicast/Broadcast Rate: Bandwidth configuration for multicast/broadcast packets. If your wireless
clients require a larger or smaller bandwidth for sending multicast/ broadcast packets, the
administrator can customize the Access Point’s multicast/ broadcast bandwidth here.
Management Frame Rate: This feature controls the bandwidth for Management Frames. The higher
the rate it, the shorter range the transmission covers
