Enable or Disable Radio Resource Management for a WiFi
Network
Radio Resource Management (RRM), which is based on IEEE 802.11k, lets the access point and its clients
dynamically measure the available radio resources. By default, RRM is disabled.
In an 802.11k-enabled network, access points and clients can send neighbor reports, beacon reports, and
link measurement reports to each other, allowing 802.11k-aware clients to automatically select the best
access point for initial connection or for roaming.
To enable or disable RRM:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to
the access point directly through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
