NETGEAR Wireless N150 Access Point WN604 Reference Manual
5-6 Advanced Configuration
v1.0, March 2010
Table 5-1 describes the settings for QoS Queues.
Enabling Wireless Bridging
The NETGEAR Wireless N150 Access Point WN604 lets you build large bridged wireless
networks. Select the desired wireless access point mode for your environment:
• Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the WN604 can communicate with another
bridge mode wirelesss access point, and with wireless clients if enabled.
When you click the Edit button, you must enter the Profile Name and the MAC address
(physical address) of the other Bridge mode wireless access point in the fields provided (see
Figure 5-5 below). WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK are supported. WPA2-PSK can (and
should) be used to protect this communication.
Table 5-1. QoS Queues and Parameters
QoS Queue Description
Data 0 (Voice) High priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP
and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.
Data 1(Video) High priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is auto-
matically sent to this queue.
Data 2 (Best Effort) Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional
IP data is sent to this queue.
Data 3 (Background) Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maxi-
mum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP
data, for example).
AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame
Space)
Specifies a wait time (in milliseconds) for data frames. Valid values for
AIFS are 1 through 255.
cwMin (Minimum Contention
Window)
Upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random
backoff wait time is determined. Valid values for the “cwmin” are 1, 3, 7,
15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMin must be lower
than the value for cwMax.
cwMax (Maximum Contention
Window)
Upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff
value. Valid values for the “cwmax” are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255,
511, or 1024. The value for cwMax must be higher than the value for
cwMin.
Max. Burst Length Specifies (in milliseconds) the Maximum Burst Length allowed for
packet bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of
multiple frames transmitted without header information. Valid values for
maximum burst length are 0.0 through 999.9.
