Change the Transmission Power Control

By default, you router's transmission power is set to 100%. This allows your router to

transmission power of your router.

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.

that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

4. Select Settings > Setup > Wireless Setup.

Power Control menu.
