Enjoy movies without loading breaks using FRITZ!Box

Networking, News No Comments

There’s nothing better on a cold winter’s night than to cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie. The versatile choice of movies provided by streaming services makes this even more convenient. On top of this FRITZ!Box users have another reason to rejoice, since the integrated Wireless Multimedia (WMM) keeps your streaming fun free of loading interruptions.

WMM and its advantages

WMM (Wireless Multimedia) is a method to prioritize data streams. It supports the transmission of multimedia data and optimizes bandwidth distribution between programs running simultaneously. WMM does this by organizing data traffic into four categories: Voice, Video, Best Effort and Background. This way the FRITZ!Box automatically provides the best wireless LAN quality for playing video on demand content from streaming services.

Movies have priority

So, when you’re watching a movie while someone else in your home network surfs the Internet, the FRITZ!Box assigns a higher WiFi priority to the data stream of the movie. Thanks to this, you can lean back and enjoy your favorite movies without waiting for videos to load.
