Specify How the Router Manages WiFi Clients

A WiFi client is any computer or WiFi device that connects to the router's WiFi network. The router uses
airtime fairness and implicit beamforming to manage its WiFi clients. These features are enabled by
default, but you can disable them.

Disable Airtime Fairness

Airtime fairness ensures that all clients receive equal time on the network. Network resources are divided
by time, so if five clients are connected, they each get one-fifth of the network time. The advantage of this
feature is that your slowest clients do not control network responsiveness. This feature is enabled by
default, but you can disable it.
To disable airtime fairness:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
