AC1200 WiFi Router Model R6120 To manage the advanced WiFi settings: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the 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 default password is password. 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. Enter the settings as described in the following table. The descriptions in the table apply to both the Wireless Network (2.4GHz b/g/n) section and the Wireless Network (5GHz a/n/ac) section. Field Description Fragmentation Length (256-2346) CTS/RTS Threshold (1-2347) Preamble Mode The fragmentation length (the default is 2346), the CTS/RTS threshold (the default is 2347), and the preamble mode (the default is Long Preamble) are reserved for WiFi testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these settings unless directed by NETGEAR support or unless you are sure what the consequences are. Incorrect settings might disable the WiFi function of the router unexpectedly. 6. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. Use the Router as a WiFi Access Point Only By default, the router functions as both a router and a WiFi access point (AP). You can set up the router to function as an access point only and let it operate in the same local network as another router. When the router functions as an access point only, many of its router-related features are disabled. Tip If you want to change the router's function, use a wired connection to avoid being disconnected when the new function takes effect. To change the router to access point mode only: 1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the yellow Internet port on the rear panel of the router to a LAN port on the other router. 2. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network. 3. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net. A login window opens. Manage the Advanced WiFi Features 113
