Manage Beamforming
The modem router supports beamforming in the 5 GHz band to enhance the WiFi range and
performance for your a/n/ac WiFi devices. When you enable beamforming and connect to the
WiFi network, the modem router actively tracks your device and directs WiFi to your device,
rather than just blasting it out in all directions. Beamforming provides a better range and
performance and is enabled by default. You can manage beamforming transmission (BFR)
from the modem router to the WiFi clients and beamforming reception (BFE) from the WiFi
clients to the modem router by turning it on or off.
To enable or disable beamforming:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
