Figure 37: Wi-Fi Multimedia Settings
The following items are displayed in this section on this page:
◆ WMM — Sets the WMM operational mode on the access point. When
enabled, the QoS capabilities are advertised to WMM-enabled clients in
the network. WMM must be supported on any device trying to
associated with the access point. Devices that do not support this
feature will not be allowed to associate with the access point.
(Default: Enabled)
◆ APSD — When WMM is enabled, Automatic Power Save Delivery
(APSD) can also be enabled. APSD is an efficient power management
method that enables client devices sending WMM packets to enter a
low-power sleep state between receiving and transmitting data.
(Default: Disabled)
◆ WMM Parameters — Click the WMM Configuration button to set
detailed WMM parameters.
