Quality of Service

Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of others. The WNR2000 router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet connection.

Using WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications

The WNR2000 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 must be 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.

You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic:

For specific applications

For specific online games

On individual Ethernet LAN ports of the router

From a specific device by MAC address

Configuring QoS for Internet Access

To specify prioritization of traffic, you must create a policy for the type of traffic and add the policy to the QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen.

To create a QoS policy:
