• To enable or disable OFDMA/MU-MIMO:
OFDMA enables multiple users to transmit data simultaneously, and thus greatly
improves speed and efficiency. Noted that only when your clients also support OFDMA,
can you fully enjoy the benefits. It is disabled by default.
A router with the MU-MIMO feature serves multiple devices simultaneously while a
traditional router serves only one user at a time. That means MU-MIMO can provide a
faster, more efficient Wi-Fi network for multiusers. It is disabled by default.
