6.3.3 ToS (Type of Service) and WMM QoS
ToS defines the DS(Differentiated Service) field in the IP packet header. The ToS value of
outgoing packets is between 0 and 255. 0 is the lowest priority.
WMM QoS checks the ToS in the header of transmitted data packets. It gives the application a
priority according to this number. If the ToS is not specified, then transmitted data is treated as
normal or best-effort traffic.

6.4.1 Access Point Mode
Select Access Point Operation Mode to display the screen as shown next.
Mid Typically used for traffic from applications or devices that lack QoS
capabilities. Use mid priority for traffic that is less sensitive to latency, but is
affected by long delays, such as Internet surfing.
Low This is typically used for non-critical “background” traffic such as bulk transfers
and print jobs that are allowed but that should not affect other applications and
users. Use low priority for applications that do not have strict latency and
throughput requirements.
