6.5.1 WMM QoS
WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service) ensures quality of service in wireless networks. It
controls WLAN transmission priority on packets to be transmitted over the wireless network.

You can use CTS to self or RTS-CTS protection mechanism to reduce
conflicts with other wireless networks or hidden wireless clients. The
throughput of RTS-CTS is much lower than CTS to self. Using this mode
may decrease your wireless performance.

A-MPDU aggregation
This field is available only when 802.11 b/g/n is selected as the Wireless
Mode. Select Enable to allow the grouping of several A-MSDUs (Aggregate
MAC Service Data Units) into one large A-MPDU (Aggregate MAC Protocol
Data Unit). This function allows faster data transfer rates.

Short GI
This field is available only when 802.11 b/g/n is selected as the Wireless
Mode. Select Enable to use Short GI (Guard Interval). The guard interval
is the gap introduced between data transmission from users in order to
reduce interference. Reducing the GI increases data transfer rates but also
increases interference. Increasing the GI reduces data transfer rates but
also reduces interference.

Rates Configuration
This section controls the data rates permitted for clients.
For each Rate, select an option from the Configuration list. The options
are:
are:
•
Basic (1~11 Mbps only): Clients can always connect to the access point
at this speed.
•
Optional: Clients can connect to the access point at this speed, when
permitted to do so by the AP.
•
Disable: Clients cannot connect to the access point at this speed.
MCS Table
The MCS Rate table is available only when 802.11 b/g/n is selected in the
802.11 Wireless Mode field.
802.11 Wireless Mode field.
IEEE 802.11n supports many different data rates which are called MCS
rates. MCS stands for Modulation and Coding Scheme. This is an 802.11n
feature that increases the wireless network performance in terms of
throughput.
