(associates) to the network, it is added to the list; when a client leaves
(disassociates) from the network, it is removed from the list. For each client,
the age (in seconds), estimated average receive signal strength (in dBm), IP
address, and host name are presented. The age is the amount of time elapsed
since data was transmitted to or received from the client.
WMM (WiFi Multimedia)
The WMM page allows you to configure WMM (WiFi Multimedia) feature. WMM is a subset of
the 802.11e wireless LAN (WLAN) specification that enhances quality of service (QoS) on a
network by prioritizing data packets according to their categories.
WMM enhances QoS at the wireless driver level. It provides a mechanism to prioritize wireless data
traffic to and from the associated (WMM capable) stations.
If you enable the WMM feature, you may need to decide whether or not to broadcast cable
modem/router’s network name. Broadcasting allows you to easily recognize your wireless network
in the list of available networks. Once you have configured your wireless clients, it is recommended
that you disable the broadcasting feature.
To access the WMM page:
1 Click Wireless in the menu bar.
2 Then click the WMM submenu.
Figure 39 shows an example of the menu and Table 29 describes the items you can select.
