• To enable the Airtime Fairness feature
The Airtime Fairness feature can improve the overall network performace by sacrificing
a little bit of network time on your slow devices. Enable Airtime Fairness when you wish
to sacrifice some of the networking time from the slow devices, so that your faster
devices can achieve better quality of service.
For example, you have a gaming computer next to the router in the living room, and a
slower family computer upstairs. Enable the airtime fairness feature so that your gaming
computer can perform as optimally as possible.
1. Go to System Tools > System Parameters > Wireless Advanced.
2. Tick the Enable Airtime Fairness checkbox.
3. Click Save.

Router’s PIN is enabled by default to allow wireless devices to connect to the router

Enable WPS checkbox.
