Hey guys.

We have a master AP that has several client APs connected to it over 5.8 GHz nv2.
One of our client APs is used exclusively for VoIP.
When there is heavy usage of the wireless on all the APs, the VoIP calls start getting choppy.
Is there any way to tell the master to prioritize the wireless traffic from one specific AP?
We've tried packet marking with simple QoS queus, but those don't appear to help because they don't effect which client APs get to talk to the master, and when.
Also, packet marking is layer 3 - it sounds like what we need is some sort of layer 2 QoS.

Hi
Just use QOS (priority) with Nv2:

check the priorities on:

Thanks for the links. I read through them - very informative.
Sounds like in order for this to happen we can do this on the master AP:

Set the Queue count for NV2 to 2
Set QoS to "Frame Priority"
Under "Bridge --> Filters"

• Create a Rule in the "forward" chain that matches VoIP traffic
  • Under "Actions", do "Set Priority" and set it to 7
• Create a Rule in the "forward" chain that matches all other traffic
  • Under "Actions", do "Set Priority" and set it to 0 (technically this should be the default, and is unnecessary)

That sound about right?
