1. Unfortunately, no. I had a laptop that could disable it which I used in testing.
2. I'll try to explain it. Because it specifically says that non-WMM traffic should not use greater than the Video AC (which, again, it can't use anyways - non-WMM traffic doesn't support ACs,) that could lead to WMM traffic should be able to use greater than the Video AC. That would mean using the Platinum QoS Profile. Again, it should be reworded. Jason Boyers - CCIE #26024 (Wireless) Technical Instructor - IPexpert, Inc.
