Manage Airtime Fairness

Airtime fairness ensures that all clients receive equal time on the network. Network resources are divided
by time, so if five clients are connected, they each get one-fifth of the network time. The advantage of this
feature is that your slowest clients do not control network responsiveness. This feature is enabled by default,
but you can disable it.
To disable airtime fairness:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4.
Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
The Wireless Settings page displays.
5.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and clear the Enable AIRTIME FAIRNESS check box.
6.
Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
If you connected over WiFi to the network, you are disconnected from the network and must reconnect.

Manage Implicit Beamforming

Implicit beamforming contrasts with explicit beamforming. With implicit beamforming, the 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 implicit beamforming:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
