N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3
Quality of Service (QoS) Setup
QoS is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of
others. The JWNR2000Tv3 router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on
the Internet connection. To configure QoS, use the QoS Setup screen.
Select
Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup
to display the following screen:
Enable WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications
The JWNR2000Tv3 router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to
prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS 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 the application and the client running that application must have
WMM enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and applications that do not
require QoS are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than
voice and video.
WMM QoS is enabled by default. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen by clearing the
Enable WMM
check box and clicking
Apply
.
Set Up QoS for Internet Access
You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic:
•
Specific applications
•
Specific online games
•
Individual LAN (Ethernet) ports of the router
•
A specific device by MAC address
To specify prioritization of traffic, create a policy for the type of traffic and add the policy to the
QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen. For convenience, the QoS Policy table lists many
common applications and online games that can benefit from QoS handling.
