Ubee Interactive Using the Wi-Fi Multimedia OptionUbee DDW365 Wireless Cable Modem Subscriber User Guide • October 2013 729.4 Using the Wi-Fi Multimedia OptionUse the Wi-Fi Multimedia option to configure the quality of service (QoS) to ensure thebest service in your wireless networks. Controls WLAN transmission priority on packets transmitted over the wireless network. Wi-Fi Multi-Media Quality of Service (WMM QoS) is a part of the IEEE 802.11e QoSenhancement to certified Wi-Fi wireless networks. WMM QoS prioritizes wireless traffic according to the delivery requirements of theindividual user and applications. On wireless access points without WMM QoS, alltraffic streams are given the same access priority to the wireless network. If a newtraffic stream creates a data transmission demand that exceeds the current networkcapacity, the new traffic stream reduces the throughput of the other traffic streams.MAC Addresses Defines the MAC addresses. Note: You may cut and pasteMAC addresses from the connected clients list at the bottomof the screen.Apply Saves changes when clicked.Connected Clients Lists wireless clients currently connected listed by MACaddress. MAC Address – Displays the MAC addresses entered inthe MAC Addresses field (see above). Age(s) – Displays the duration since the wireless client’spolled values were sent to the device. The values includeall information shown on this screen. The lower thenumber, the more current its data. RSSI(dBm) – Displays the received signal strength fromthe device to the DDW365. This value is commonly usedto assist in troubleshooting wireless performance issues.A signal strength between 0dBm and -65dBm isconsidered optimal. Levels of -66dBm and lower (forexample, -70, -80, etc.) have a downward impact onwireless data throughput. Refer to UnderstandingReceived Signal Strength on page 76 for moreinformation. IP Address – Displays the IP address assigned to thiswireless client. Host Name – Displays the host name of the wirelessclient. Mode – Indicates the applicable 802.11a/b/g/n standardused by the connected client device. Speed (kbps) – Displays the maximum theoretical linkspeed negotiated between the DDW365 and the client,not including the overhead associated with encryption, andso on. For example, actual speeds with WEP encryptionenabled are typically less than half of the negotiated linkspeed. TKIP encryption can also affect performance.AES is the most efficient and secure with the highestthroughput possible. You can disable WMM if throughputon some client adapters is adversely affected.Label Description
