Enable or disable OFDMA

If AX WiFi is enabled (which it is by default), you can enable Orthogonal
Frequency-Division Multiple-Access (OFDMA) for each radio band independently. By
default, OFDMA is disabled in both radio bands, even when AX WiFi is enabled.
OFDMA allows data transmission signals to be split into smaller signals. Your router
sends these small signals directly to individual devices in your network. Because multiple
devices can be served in the same transmission window, your router can increase network
speed and efficiency.
Note the following about OFDMA:
• Enable OFDMA if your network includes many Internet of things (IoT) devices.
• After you enable OFDMA, if you notice that some of your devices do not function
as expected, disable OFDMA to see if the devices function normally.
• If your network includes many older devices, you might want to keep OFDMA
disabled.
To enable or disable OFDMA:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
