Wireless-N 150 Router WNR612v2 User Manual
Quality of Service
Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of
traffic ahead of others. The Wireless-N 150 Router WNR612v2 can provide QoS prioritization
over the wireless link and on the Internet connection.
Using WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications
The Wireless-N 150 Router WNR612v2 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 must be 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.
Configuring QoS for Internet Access
To specify prioritization of traffic, you must create a policy for the type of traffic and add the
policy to the QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen.
To create a QoS policy:
From the main menu, under Advanced, select QoS Setup. The QoS Setup screen displays:
WMM QoS is enabled by default. You can disable it by clearing the
Enable WMM
check box
and clicking
Apply
.
QoS for Applications and Online Gaming
To create a QoS policy for traffic for specific applications or online games:
1.
From the main menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, select QoS Setup. The
QoS Setup screen displays.
