Add a New Application Applications and Gaming > QoS QoS (Quality of Service) Wireless Wireless WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) WMM is a wireless Quality of Service feature that improves quality for audio, video, and voice applications by prioritizing wireless traffic. To use this feature, your wireless client devices in your network must support Wireless WMM. If you would like to disable this feature, select Disabled. Otherwise, keep the default, Enabled. No Acknowledgement If you want to disable the Router's Acknowledgement feature, so the Router will not re-send data if an error occurs, select Enabled. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled. Internet Access Priority In this section, you can set the bandwidth priority for a variety of applications and devices. There are four levels of priority; High, Medium, Normal, or Low. When you set priority, do not set all applications to High, because this will defeat the purpose of allocating the available bandwidth. If you want to select below normal bandwidth, select Low. Depending on the application, a few attempts may be needed to set the appropriate bandwidth priority. Enabled/Disabled To use the QoS policies you set, select Enabled. Otherwise, select Disabled.
