Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router Model R7000
How the Router Manages Wireless Clients
A wireless client is any computer or wireless device that connects to the router’s WiFi
network. The router uses Airtime fairness and implicit Beamforming to manage its wireless
clients. These features are enabled by default, but you can disable them.
Airtime Fairness
Airtime fairness ensures that all clients receive equal time on the network. Network resources
are divided by time, so if you have five clients, they each get one-fifth of the network time.
The advantage of this feature is that your slowest clients don’t control network
responsiveness. This feature is enabled by default, but you can disable it.
To disable Airtime fairness:
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.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
5. Scroll down below the WPS Settings section of the screen and clear the Enable
AIRTIME FAIRNESS check box.
6. Click the Apply button.
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.
