To manage the QoS settings for a WiFi radio:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 44.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 26.
The Dashboard page displays.
4. Select Management > Configuration > Wireless > Basic > QoS Settings.
The QoS Settings page displays.
5. Enable or disable the following features for the radio by selecting the applicable
Enable or Disable radio buttons:

Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM): WiFi Multimedia (WMM) is a subset of the 802.11e
standard. Time-dependent information such as video or audio is given higher
priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, WiFi clients must also
support WMM. By enabling WMM, you allow WMM to control upstream traffic
flowing from WiFi devices to the access point and downstream traffic flowing
from the access point to WiFi devices. WMM defines the following four queues
in decreasing order of priority:
-
Voice: The highest priority queue with minimum delay, which makes it very
suitable for applications such as VoIP and streaming media.
-
Video: The second highest priority queue with low delay. Video applications
are routed to this queue.
-
Best effort: The medium priority queue with medium delay. Most standard
IP applications use this queue.
-
Background: The low priority queue with high throughput. Applications such
as FTP that are not time-sensitive but require high throughput can use this
queue.
