Linksys WAP300N

How to set up QoS (Quality of Service)

For: Access Point and Wireless Media Connector modes only

To set up QoS:

Wireless > QoS

1.Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based utility” on page 8).

2.Click the Wireless tab, then click the QoS page.

3.Configure the following settings:

WMM Support—Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a wireless QoS feature that improves quality for audio, video, and voice applications by prioritizing wireless traffic. To use WMM, the other wireless devices connected to the WAP300N must also support WMM.

No Acknowledgement—If you do not want the WAP300N to re-send data each time an error occurs, select Enabled. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled.

Setting Up: Advanced

How to change the IP address

You can choose whether the WAP300N gets its IP address automatically (using the DHCP server) or manually (static IP) by setting it in the browser-based utility.

NOTES

••For most home networks, we recommend leaving this setting at Automatic Configuration - DHCP.

••If there is no DHCP server, or if the WAP300N is not wirelessly connected to any other device and it is connected with an Ethernet cable directly to a computer, then the WAP300N uses 10.100.1.1 as its IP address until a DHCP server is detected and a new IP address is assigned.

To set your WAP300N’s IP address:

1.Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based utility” on page 8).

2.For Device IP, select Static IP, then complete the following fields:

••IP Address—Enter a unique IP address that will be used to access the browser-based utility.

••Subnet Mask—Enter the subnet mask of your network.

••Default Gateway—Enter the IP address of the default gateway for your network (in most cases, this is your router).

3.Click Save Settings to apply your changes.
