Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a feature that enables Quality of Service (QoS) on 802.11 networks, allowing for the prioritization of different types of traffic such as voice, video, and data. If WMM is not enabled, the network cannot differentiate or prioritize traffic types, leading to potential performance issues, especially for latency-sensitive applications like VoIP or video conferencing. Therefore, without WMM, 802.11 QoS functionalities are unavailable, impacting the overall efficiency and user experience of the WLAN.
