WMM

 

Wireless

 

Multimedia

 

Extensions

 

(WME),

 

also

 

known

 

as

 

Wi

Multimedia

 

(WMM),

 

is

 

a

 

Wi

Fi

 

Alliance

 

interoperability

 

certification,

 

based

 

on

 

the

 

IEEE

 

802.11e

 

standard.

 

It

 

provides

 

basic

 

Quality

 

of

 

service

 

(QoS)

 

features

 

for

 

wireless

 

IEEE

 

802.11

 

networks.

 

WMM

 

prioritizes

 

traffic

 

according

 

to

 

four

 

access

 

categories

 

(AC

 

for

 

short):

  

1.

 

Voice

 

2.

 

Video

 

3.

 

Best

 

effort

 

4.

 

Background.

  

It

 

is

 

suitable

 

for

 

well

defined

 

applications

 

that

 

require

 

QoS,

 

such

 

as

 

Voice

 

over

 

IP

 

(VoIP)

 

on

 

Wi

Fi

 

phones

 

(VoWLAN).

 

However,

 

it

 

does

 

not

 

provide

 

guaranteed

 

throughput.

  

 

As

 

for

 

the

 

Intellinet

 

CPE

 

Access

 

Point,

 

WMM

 

can

 

be

 

disabled

 

or

 

enabled

 

for

 

each

 

of

 

the

 

four

 

SSIDs

 

independently.

 

WMM

 

should

 

be

 

enabled

 

for

 

all

 

SSIDs

 

to

 

ensure

 

the

 

highest

 

possible

 

link

 

speed

 

of

 

150

 

Mbps.

 

There

 

is

 

really

 

no

 

reason

 

to

 

disable,

 

unless

 

you

 

are

 

experiencing

 

technical

 

difficulties

 

and

 

want

 

to

 

disable

 

WMM

 

as

 

part

 

of
