Wireless Settings
• To enable or disable OFDMA/MU-MIMO:
OFDMA enables multiple users to transmit data simultaneously, and thus greatly
improves speed and efficiency. Noted that only when your clients also support OFDMA,
can you fully enjoy the benefits. It is disabled by default.
A router with the MU-MIMO feature serves multiple devices simultaneously while a
traditional router serves only one user at a time. That means MU-MIMO can provide a
faster, more efficient Wi-Fi network for multiusers. It is disabled by default.
Note: Devices supporting 5GHz wireless band can enjoy the MU-MIMO service.
1. Go to Advanced > Wireless > Wireless Settings.
2. Select OFDMA+MU-MIMO or OFDMA only.
• To use the Smart Connect function:
Smart Connect combines the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and assigns your devices
between them to balance network demands.
1. Go to Advanced > Wireless > Wireless Settings.
2. Enable Smart Connect.
3. Keep the default values or set a new SSID and password, and click SAVE . This SSID
and password will be applied for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networks. If you want
to configure the wireless settings separately for each band, deselect the checkbox
to disable this feature.
• To enable or disable the wireless function:
