Beginners Guide to Enable WMM on Victony Repeater

Victony repeaters facilitate their users to prioritize internet traffic for applications depending on their requirements. The feature known as WMM (Wireless Multimedia) helps the repeater to maintain the priority of audio, video, and voice over other tasks that are less time-dependent. It means if you enable WMM on your Wireless-N repeater you will be able to insert applications demanding better throughput and performance in higher priority queues. Confused? Let’s dig deeper.

Why You Should Enable WMM on Repeater?

Audio and video application demands higher frequencies over FTP (File Transfer Protocol) applications. No one can afford delays during a phone conversation. On the other hand, a smooth action needs to be seen in an online video. However, a small delay is acceptable while downloading large files. By enabling WMM on your Wireless-N repeater, you will define voice, video, best effort (medium delay tasks), and background running applications in decreasing order of priority.

Now, read the next section to learn how to enable WMM on your Victony repeater.

Although, enabling the WMM feature on the WiFi repeater is not a daunting task, still some users make mistakes while executing the process. To make sure you are not one of them, keep a few tips in mind.

Tips to Successfully Enable WMM

• Never plug your WiFi devices (WiFi repeater and router) into a non-working wall outlet. If you do so, there will be an insufficient power supply that won’t allow you to enable the WMM feature easily.
• Using a functional Ethernet cable will not be of any use if the connection is not finger-tight. So, take care of the same.
• Yes, we understand that your WiFi devices need to be close in the case of a wireless connection, but you can’t place them too close. It might create a clash in their WiFi signals.
• The PC you have used to enable WMM on the Wireless-N repeater must not contain viruses or malware. Therefore, do not proceed without running a scan on your PC and deleting viruses (if any).
• You should not use an outdated version of the web browser to enable the Wireless Multimedia feature on your WiFi repeater. Apart from this, the web browser’s cache, cookies, and browsing history must also be cleared.
• The default admin details of your Wireless-N repeater need to be entered carefully during login due to their case-sensitive nature. Additionally, avoid using the default login credentials if you have ever changed them. Use the new details instead.
