4. Quality of Service (QoS)

The primary goal of QoS is to provide priority such as dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by some real time and interactive traffic), and improved loss characteristics. Another important goal is ensuring that by providing priority for one or more flows does not make compromise other flows.

QoS in 802.11 is defined by the IEEE 802.11e set of standards. Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WME), also known as Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Wi-Fi Alliance certification based on this IEEE 802.11e. WMM prioritizes traffic according to 4 AC (Access Categories) - voice, video, best effort, and background. However, it does not provide guaranteed throughput. It is suitable for interactive applications that require QoS, such as Wi-Fi Voice over IP (VoIP).

Follow the steps below to Enable QoS:

1.From the menu bar click on Networking QoS drop down menu item.

2.Click on “QoS” Enable radio button. A confirmation window pops up as shown in the figure below.
