b.Set the maximum Upstream Bandwidth.

c.To help manage traffic priority with devices that support WMM, turn on WMM Support.

Tip

WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) Support is a wireless feature based on the IEEE 802.11e standard. WMM improves quality for audio, video, and voice applications by prioritizing wireless traffic. This feature requires that the wireless client devices in your network also support WMM.

d.To have the router re-send data if an error occurs, turn off No Acknowledgement.

Caution

If you specify a maximum bandwidth that is too high, the router cannot apply priorities correctly, and prioritization problems may result.

e.Click OK.

How to enable Voice over IP on your network

Do I need to configure Voice over IP? VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology for using the Internet as an interface for telephone communications. To use VoIP, you need to get an account with a VoIP service provider. The VoIP service provider typically provides you with a telephone adapter that connects to your network. If you do not use your network to make phone calls, you don’t need to change the default settings.

The Application Layer Gateway SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) allows SIP packets, used by some VOIP service providers, to get through your router’s firewall.
