Configuring QoS

You can use QoS to enable WMM for both upstream traffic from the station to the access

point and downstream traffic from the access point to the client station.You can use basic

QoS settings for access points or advanced QoS settings for access point groups. These

settings are applied only to NETGEAR ProSafe access points that support QoS.

WMM defines the following four queues in decreasing order of priority:

• Voice: The highest-priority queue with minimum delay, which makes it ideal for

applications like VOIP and streaming media.

• Video: The second-highest priority with low delay is given to this queue. Video

applications are routed to this queue.

• Best Effort: The medium priority with medium delay is given to this queue. Most standard

IP applications use this queue.

• Background: Low-priority queue with high throughput. Applications, such as FTP, that

are not time-sensitive but require high throughput can use this queue.

With WMM enabled, QoS prioritizes and coordinates wireless access. QoS settings on the

access point control downstream traffic to client stations (AP EDCA parameters) and the

upstream traffic from the station to the access point (station EDCA parameters).

Disabling WMM deactivates QoS control of station EDCA parameters on upstream traffic

flowing from the station to the access point. With WMM disabled, you can still set some

parameters on the downstream traffic from the access point to the client stations (AP EDCA

parameters).

RIFS Transmission (11n

only)

Enable the Reduced Interframe Space (RIFS) option to allow transmission of

successive frames at different transmit powers. Enabling RIFS can lead to better

network performance.

Enable Wi-Fi MultiMedia

(WMM)

Select this check box to ensure that applications that require better throughput and

performance are provided special queues with higher priority. For more information

about WMM, see

QoS for Managed Access Points on page 22.

DTIM Interval (1–255) Enter the DTIM or the data beacon rate that you want to use. This sets the message

period of the beacon delivery traffic indication in multiples of beacon intervals.

Preamble Type (11b//jointfilesconvert/27556/bg

only)

A long transmit preamble can provide a more reliable connection or a slightly longer

range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance. The Auto setting

automatically handles both long and short preambles. The default is Auto.

Access Point Channel Each managed access point’s channel and frequency can be individually selected.

The access point mode is set either to the one enabled for the group, or if the

selected mode is not available on the access point, to the mode providing highest

performance.
