Field Description

Allow Streaming Traffic

Use the switch to allow or block Streaming traffic in the wireless environment, such as video or audio traffic in wireless environment. It applies only to un-encrypted wireless traffic.

Warning: Streaming traffic applications consume large bandwidth and can adversely impact all other Wireless Clients connected on the Wireless LAN.
