Generate A New Backhaul Password; Enable Or Disable Implicit Beamforming - NETGEAR Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 Router User Manual

Generate a new backhaul password

The backhaul password is a security key that is used in WiFi communication between
the router and the satellite. You can generate a new backhaul password. After you
generate a new backhaul password, you must use the Sync button to build a new
backhaul connection so that the router and satellite can communicate with each other
using WiFi.
To generate a new backhaul password:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
mesh network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
The Advanced Wireless Settings page displays.
5. In the Backhaul Password section, click the Generate button.
The router generates a new backhaul password.
Generating a new password might cause the satellite to lose connection from the
router. To reconnect, use the Sync button.

Enable or disable implicit beamforming

Beamforming shapes a directional WiFi signal aimed at a WiFi client based on the client's
location, as opposed to radiating the signal out in all directions. This feature improves
WiFi range and performance. Clients do not need to support beamforming to benefit
from implicit beamforming.
To enable or disable implicit beamforming:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
mesh network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
