7.7 The QoS Screen

You can turn on Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) QoS to improve the performance of voice and video applications in the wireless network. QoS gives high priority to voice and video, which makes them run more smoothly. Similarly, it gives low priority to many large file downloads so that they do not reduce the quality of other applications.

Click Network > Wireless LAN > QoS. The following screen displays.

DESCRIPTION

Enable WMM

Select this box to activate WMM QoS on the ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device

QoS

assigns priority to packets based on the IEEE 802.1Q or DSCP information in their

 

headers. If a packet has no WMM information in its header, it is assigned the

 

default priority.
