N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4300
Enable WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications
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.
WMM QoS is enabled by default. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen by clearing the
Enable WMM check box and clicking Apply.
Note: If you clear the Enable WMM check box, you cannot get 11N
throughput.
Set Up QoS for Internet Access
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
To specify prioritization of traffic, create a policy for the type of traffic and add the policy to the
QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen. For convenience, the QoS Policy table lists many
common applications and online games that can benefit from QoS handling.
QoS for Applications and Online Gaming
To create a QoS policy for applications and online games:
1. In the QoS Setup screen, select the Turn Internet Access QoS On check box.
