The
modem router
uses explicit and implicit beamforming to improve WiFi performance. Explicit
beamforming requires the devices to support beamforming. (Typically, 802.11ac devices support
beamforming.) Implicit beamforming means that the
modem router
supports beamforming even with
devices that do not support beamforming.
The
modem router
supports implicit beamforming for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz devices, which means that
the
modem router
can provide beamforming benefits of better range and performance for all WiFi devices,
even older 802.11a/b/g/n devices and not just the latest WiFi devices.
Both explicit and implicit beamforming are enabled by default. Explicit beamformaing is always enabled
(you cannot disable it), but you can disable implicit beamforming.
To manage implicit beamforming:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Type
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the user name and password for the
modem router
.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
4.
Click the
OK
button.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings
.
The Advanced Wireless Settings page displays.
6.
Scroll to the very bottom of the page.
7.
Disable or enable implicit beamforming by doing the following:
•
To disable implicit beamforming, clear the
Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING
check box.
•
To enable implicit beamforming, select the
Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING
check box.
By default, implicit beamforming is enabled.
8.
Click the
Apply
button.
Your settings are saved.
Improve Network Connections with Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices such as Internet appliances and computers access the
network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services
from other registered UPnP devices on the network.

If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications
such as instant messaging or remote assistance, keep UPnP enabled, which it is by default.
To manage Universal Plug and Play:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Type
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the user name and password for the
modem router
.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
4.
Click the
OK
button.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP
.
The UPnP page displays.
6.
Select the
Turn UPnP On
check box.
By default, this check box is selected.You can disable or enable UPnP for automatic device
configuration. If the
Turn UPnP
On check box is cleared, the
modem router
does not allow any device
to automatically control router resources, such as port forwarding.
7.
Enter the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the
modem router
broadcasts its UPnP information.
This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations
ensure that control points detect current device status at the expense of more network traffic. Longer
durations can compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network
traffic.
8.
Enter the advertisement time to live in hops.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet sent. Hops
are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The
default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks.
If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be necessary to
increase this value.
9.
Click the
Apply
button.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing the
modem
router
and which ports (internal and external) that device opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also
displays what type of port is open and whether that port is still active for each IP address.
10.
To refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap table, click the
Refresh
button.
