For example, if bandwidth is insufficient to allow for making a call via the Internet, watching a video, surfing the
Internet and downloading files, WMM mode will hold off on the downloads, Internet browsing, and the video.
The goal is to guarantee optimal comfort of use for the main task at hand.
You can enable or disable this option freely. You should know, however, that if you disable this option,
bandwidth will be shared between all current tasks, without order of priority, which made reduce your comfort
of use (for example, untimely lapses in your calls via the Internet or your videos, or a slowdown in terms of
your downloads).
The WMM function is only compatible with other WMM devices.
