Figure 37: Wi-Fi Multimedia Settings

The following items are displayed in this section on this page:

◆WMM — Sets the WMM operational mode on the access point. When enabled, the QoS capabilities are advertised to WMM-enabled clients in the network. WMM must be supported on any device trying to associated with the access point. Devices that do not support this feature will not be allowed to associate with the access point. (Default: Enabled)

◆APSD — When WMM is enabled, Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD) can also be enabled. APSD is an efficient power management method that enables client devices sending WMM packets to enter a low-power sleep state between receiving and transmitting data. (Default: Disabled)
