How to increase Smart Transfer Data Transfer Speed by Adjusting Router Configuration

Follow these steps for router configuration:

Log in into your router’s control panel:
  • Access the router's control panel using the IP address found on the back of the router.
  • Use the provided username and password (located on the back of the router device).
Navigate to WLAN Settings:
Locate the WLAN settings in the router configuration/control panel.

Identify WLAN Channel ID:
Find the WLAN channel ID, which is a unique identifier for your wireless network.

Check for Channel Sharing:
  • In the neighborhood Access Point (AP) information section, click on "Query."
  • Note if your channel ID is shared multiple times. Automatic sharing reduces uniqueness.
Adjust Channel ID for Uniqueness:
  • To make your channel ID unique, go to advanced settings and click on "WLAN Advanced."
  • From the drop-down menu, select a unique channel ID.
Apply Changes:
Click on the apply changes button to save the new configuration.
