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.
A login screen displays.
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.

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
