• 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 Advanced > Wireless > Wireless Settings.
2. Select the wireless network 2.4GHz, 5GHz-1 or 5GHz-2.
3. Check the box for Enable Airtime Fairness.
4. Click Save.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) provides an easier approach to set up a security-protected
Wi-Fi connection.

the router.
2. Make sure the Wi-Fi of your router is on and go to Advanced > Wireless > WPS.
12. 8. 1. Push the WPS Button

using the PIN. You can use the default one or generate a new one.
