WMM
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), is a subset of the 802.11e
wireless LAN (WLAN) specification that enhances quality
of service (QoS) on a network by prioritizing data packets.
802.11n spec requires devices to support 802.11e
(Quality of Service [QoS] enhancements for
wireless LAN) in order to use HT (High Throughput)
link rates, i.e. higher than 54 Mbps. WMM's Traffic
Identifier (TID) field is key to aggregation mechanisms,
including block acknowledgement (block ACK), that
enable 802.11n's high throughput rates.
Since WMM support is required for products to be
certified for 802.11n, WMM comes enabled by default in
all Wi-Fi Certified n APs and wireless routers. So even if
you don't have any WMM-aware devices on your network,
leave WMM enabled or you may find your clients
connecting only at 54 Mbps rates.
