QoS Setup Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that you can use to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of others. The router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet connection. You use the QoS Setup screen to set up QoS features. Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service for Wireless Traffic 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 need 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. WMM QoS is enabled by default, and the Enable WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) settings check box is selected. NETGEAR recommends that you leave this setting as it is for full 802.11n wireless rate support. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen by clearing this check box and clicking the Apply button. genie ADVANCED Home 54

QoS Setup
Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that you can use to prioritize some types of
traffic ahead of others. The router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on
the Internet connection. You use the QoS Setup screen to set up QoS features.
Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service for Wireless Traffic
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 need 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.
WMM QoS is enabled by default, and the Enable WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) settings check
box is selected. NETGEAR recommends that you leave this setting as it is for full 802.11n
wireless rate support. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen by clearing this check box
and clicking the Apply button.
