Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 User Manual Manage time slot assignments to satellites If the AirBridge functions as a master with the AirBridge mode enabled, by default, the AirBridge automatically assigns time slots to each satellite so that each satellite receives equal opportunity. We recommend that you keep automatic time slot assignments. If you understand the consequences, you can manually set the time slot to a value from 2 to 7. For example if you divide 1 second into 10 time slots, each time slot is 100 ms. If you set the time slot to 3, each satellite receives 300 ms on a rotating basis. Note: By default, each satellite receives the same number of time slots. However, the higher the satellite priority that you set for a for a satellite (see Manage the satellite priority on page 99), the more time slots the AirBridge assigns to the satellite. To manage time slots on a master: 1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection. 2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge. The login page displays. If your browser does not display the login page but displays a security message and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the AirBridge after initial setup on page 34. 3. Enter the AirBridge user name and local device password. The user name is admin. The local device password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive. If you previously managed the AirBridge through the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight Cloud portal, enter the Insight network password for the Insight network location to which the AirBridge was assigned (see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 15). The Device Status page displays the Device Information section and other sections. 4. Under Network, select Wireless. The Wireless Settings page displays. 5. From the Master Time Slot menu, select Auto, or a value from 2 to 7. By default, the selection is Auto. We recommend that you keep the selection at Auto. 6. Click the Save button. Your settings are saved but not yet applied. A pop-up window opens. The window shows the number of changes to be applied. Manage Advanced WiFi and 98 Radio Features User Manual

Manage time slot assignments to satellites
If the AirBridge functions as a master with the AirBridge mode enabled, by default, the
AirBridge automatically assigns time slots to each satellite so that each satellite receives
equal opportunity. We recommend that you keep automatic time slot assignments. If
you understand the consequences, you can manually set the time slot to a value from
2 to 7. For example if you divide 1 second into 10 time slots, each time slot is 100 ms.
If you set the time slot to 3, each satellite receives 300 ms on a rotating basis.
Note:
By default, each satellite receives the same number of time slots. However, the
higher the satellite priority that you set for a for a satellite (see Manage
the
satellite
priority
on page 99), the more time slots the AirBridge assigns to the satellite.
To manage time slots on a master:
