Your router has QoS (Quality of Service) settings that can prioritize traffic from your network out to the Internet. Performance for demanding, real-time applications, such as online gaming, VoIP calls, video streaming, and videoconferencing, can be improved by configuring Internet access priorities. QoS is applied only to traffic that is uploaded to the Internet. The router cannot control the quality of the traffic after it reaches the Internet.

To help manage traffic priority with devices that support WMM, select Enabled under WMM Support. Otherwise, select Disabled. Tip WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) Support is a wireless QoS feature based on the IEEE 802.11e standard. WMM improves quality for audio, video, and voice applications by prioritizing wireless traffic. This feature requires that the wireless client devices in your network also support WMM. 4. To have the router re-send data if an error occurs, select Disabled under No Acknowledgement. Otherwise, select Enabled. 5. To set access priorities for a specific device or application, select Enabled next to Internet Access Priority. 6.
