Manage MU-MIMO
Multiuser multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) improves performance when
multiple MU-MIMO-capable WiFi clients transfer data at the same time. WiFi clients
must support MU-MIMO, and they must be connected to a 5 GHz WiFi band. This feature
is disabled by default, but you can enable it.
To enable MU-MIMO:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Advanced Wireless Settings.
The Advanced Wireless Settings page displays.
5.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and select the Enable MU-MIMO check box.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
If you connected over WiFi to the network, you are disconnected from the network
and must reconnect.
Set Up a WiFi Bridge Between the Router
and Another Device
You can use the router as a WiFi bridge and connect multiple devices with WiFi, for
example, at the faster 802.11ac speed. To do this, you need another WiFi router or
access point (AP) in addition to the router: One device is connected to the Internet over
a DSL or cable modem and the other one functions as a WiFi bridge. You can connect
the router to the Internet modem and use the router or AP as a WiFi bridge (assuming
that the router or AP is capable of functioning as a WiFi bridge), or the other way
around—connect the router or AP to the Internet modem, and use the router as a WiFi
bridge.
