If you connected over WiFi to the network, you are disconnected from the network and must reconnect.
Disable Implicit Beamforming
Implicit beamforming contrasts with explicit beamforming, which means that your router actively tracks
clients and directs power to the router antenna closest to the client. Explicit beamforming works whether
or not the client supports beamforming. Implicit beamforming means that the router can use information
from client devices that support beamforming to improve the WiFi signal. This feature is enabled by default,
but you can disable it.
To disable airtime fairness:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.

If you connected over WiFi to the network, you are disconnected from the network and must reconnect.
Control the WiFi Radios
The router's internal WiFi radios broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ranges. By default, they are
on so that you can connect over WiFi to the router. When the WiFi radios are off, you can still use an
Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the router.
You can turn the WiFi radios on and off with the WiFi On/Off button on the router, or you can log in to
the router and enable or disable the WiFi radios. If you are close to the router, it might be easier to press
its WiFi On/Off button. If you are away from the router or already logged in it might be easier to enable
or disable them. You can also turn the WiFi radios off and on based on a schedule. (See
Schedule
on page 172.)
