Manage Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) prioritizes WiFi voice and video traffic over the WiFi link.
WMM QoS prioritizes WiFi 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, WMM must be enabled on
both the application and the client running that application. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and
applications that do not require QoS are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than
voice and video.
WMM QoS is automatically enabled for the modem router. In some circumstances you might want to disable WMM.T

Manage Beamforming The modem router supports beamforming to enhance the WiFi range and performance for your WiFi devices. With
beamf

orming, when you connect to the WiFi network, the modem router actively tracks your device and directs WiFi
to your device, rather than just blasting it out in all directions.
The modem router uses explicit and implicit beamforming to improve WiFi performance. Explicit beamforming requires
the devices to support beamforming. (Typically, 802.11ac devices support beamforming.) Implicit beamforming
means that the modem router
 supports beamforming even with devices that do not support beamforming.
The modem router supports implicit beamforming for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz devices, which means that the modem
router can provide beamforming benefits of better range and performance for all WiFi devices, even older 802.11a/b/g/n
devices and not just the latest WiFi devices.
Both explicit and implicit beamforming are enabled by default. Explicit beamforming is always enabled (you cannot
disable it), but you can disable implicit beamforming.
To manage beamforming: 1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.

http://www.routerlogin.net. Optimize Performance

 check box.

Improve Network Connections With Universal Plug and Play Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices such as Internet appliances and computers access the network and
connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered
UPnP devices on the network.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications such as
instant messaging or remote assistance, keep UPnP enabled, which it is by default.To manage Universal Plug and Play: 1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter 
http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.

modem router user name and password.

155
Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D7000 
						

							By default, this check box is selected. You can disable or enable UPnP for automatic device configuration. If
the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, the modem router does not allow any device to automatically control
router resources
, such as port forwarding.
6. Enter the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the 
modem router broadcasts its UPnP information. This value
can r
ange from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points
detect current device status at the expense of more network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the
freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic.
7. Enter the advertisement time to live in hops.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet sent. Hops are the
steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the
advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some
devices are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.
8. Click the 
Apply button.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing the 
modem router
and which ports (internal and external) that device opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type
of port is open and whether that port is still active for each IP address.
9. To refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap table, click the 
Refresh button. Optimize Performance
