Change the transmission power of the WiFi
radios
By default, your router's radio transmission power is set to 100%. This allows your router
to give you the largest WiFi coverage. If you need WiFi coverage for a particular area
or room only, and you also want to save power consumption while using your router,
you can lower the transmission power of your router.
To change the transmission power:
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.
