WMM
Enable or disable WMM.
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a component of the IEEE 802.11e
wireless LAN standard for QoS.
WMM provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different
applications based on four access categories: voice, video, best effort,
and background. For an application to receive the benefits of WMM
QoS, both it and the client running that application have to have WMM
enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and applica-
tions that do not require QoS, are assigned to the best effort category,
which receives a lower priority than voice and video.
WMM is enabled by default.
