Quality of Service (QoS) Setup

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. To configure QoS, use the QoS Setup screen. 



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. 

Select Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup: 

Disable WMM QoS in the QoS Setup screen by clearing the Enable WMM check box.

WMM QoS is enabled by default. 

Click Apply to save your settings.

You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic:

Specific applications

Specific online games

Individual Ethernet LAN ports of the router

A specific device by MAC address
