Enable or disable MU-MIMO

Multiuser multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) improves performance when many
WiFi clients that are MU-MIMO-capable transfer data at the same time. For MU-MIMO
to function, WiFi clients must support MU-MIMO, and they must be connected to a 5
GHz WiFi band. This feature is enabled by default, but you can disable it.
To enable or disable MU-MIMO:
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 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 Wireless Settings page displays.
5. Scroll down below the WPS Settings section and select or clear the Enable MU-MIMO
check box.
Selecting this check box enables MU-MIMO. Clearing this check box disables
MU-MIMO.
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.
