WMM Support If you have other devices that support Wi-
Fi Multimedia (WMM) on your network, keep the default,
Enabled. Otherwise, select Disabled.
No Acknowledgement If you want to disable the Router’s
Acknowledgement feature, so the Router will not re-send
data if an error occurs, then select Enabled. Otherwise,
keep the default, Disabled.
Internet Access Priority
In this section, you can set the bandwidth priority for a
variety of applications and devices. There are four levels
priority: High, Medium, Normal, or Low. When you set
priority, do not set all applications to High, because this will
defeat the purpose of allocating the available bandwidth.
If you want to select below normal bandwidth, select Low.
Depending on the application, a few attempts may be
needed to set the appropriate bandwidth priority.
Enabled/Disabled To use the QoS policies you have set,
keep the default, Enabled. Otherwise, select Disabled.
