Implicit Beamforming
Implicit Beamforming contrasts with explicit Beamforming, which means that your router
actively tracks clients and directs power to the router antenna closes to the client. This works
whether or not the client supports Beamforming. Implicit Beamforming means that the router
can use information from client devices that support Beamforming to improve the WiFi signal.
This feature is enabled by default, but you can disable it.
To disable implicit Beamforming:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
http://www.routerlogin.net
or
http://www.routerlogin.com

Control the Wireless Radios
The router includes internal wireless radios that broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
ranges. By default, they are on so that you can connect wirelessly to the router. When the
wireless radios are off, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the router.
You can turn the wireless radios on and off with the
WiFi On/Off
button on the router, or you
can log in to the router and enable or disable the wireless radios. If you are close to the
router, it might be easier to press its
WiFi On/Off
button. If you are away from the router or
you already logged in, it might be easier to enable or disable them. You can also turn the
WiFi radios off and on based on a schedule. (See
Set Up a Wireless Schedule
on page
