The modem router uses explicit and implicit beamforming to improve WiFi performance. Explicit
beamforming requires the devices to support beamforming. (Typically, 802.11ac devices support
beamforming.) Implicit beamforming means that the modem router supports beamforming even with
devices that do not support beamforming.
The modem router supports implicit beamforming for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz devices, which means that
the modem router can provide beamforming benefits of better range and performance for all WiFi devices,
even older 802.11a/b/g/n devices and not just the latest WiFi devices.
Both explicit and implicit beamforming are enabled by default. Explicit beamformaing is always enabled
(you cannot disable it), but you can disable implicit beamforming.
To manage implicit beamforming:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is admin.The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
4. Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
The Advanced Wireless Settings page displays.
6. Scroll to the very bottom of the page.
7. Disable or enable implicit beamforming by doing the following:
• To disable implicit beamforming, clear the Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING check box.
• To enable implicit beamforming, select the Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING check box.
By default, implicit beamforming is enabled.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Improve Network Connections with Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices such as Internet appliances and computers access the
network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services
from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
