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.
