•Enable Wireless Router Radio. If you disable the wireless router radio, wireless devices cannot connect to the WGT624 v4.

•Enable SSID Broadcast. If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. Disabling SSID broadcast nullifies the wireless network ‘discovery’ feature of some products such as Windows XP.

•Enable WMM. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Quality of Service (QoS) feature that prioritizes wireless data packets based on four access categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. Applications without WMM and applications that do not require QoS, are assigned to the best-effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video.

To receive the benefits of WMM QoS:

–The application must support WMM.

–You must enable WMM in your WGT624 v4 wireless router.

–You must enable WMM in the wireless adapter in your computer.
