Specify How the Router Manages WiFi Clients

A WiFi client is any computer or mobile device that connects to the router's WiFi network. The router uses
airtime fairness, implicit beamforming, and MU-MIMO to manage its WiFi clients. Airtime fairness and implicit
beamforming are enabled by default, but you can disable them. MU-MIMO is disabled by default, but you
can enable it.

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.
AC1750 Smart WiFi Router Model R6350
Description
The fragmentation length (the default is 2346), the CTS/RTS threshold (the default
is 2347), and the preamble mode (the default is Long Preamble) are reserved for
WiFi testing and advanced configuration only.
Do not change these settings unless directed by NETGEAR support or unless you
are sure what the consequences are. Incorrect settings might disable the WiFi
function of the router unexpectedly.
