Management and move the slider all the way to the right (to Highest). Click OK.<br />
— or —<br />
If the Wi-Fi client network adapter is not by Intel, select a configuration with minimal power<br />
savings (to maximize throughput).<br />
Note: The above settings are often controlled by 3 rd -party value-add applications and may be automatically<br />
changed. If Wi-Fi performance improves for a while after performing the above steps, but then<br />
declines, recheck the above settings.<br />
Security Tips<br />
● Change the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and Wi-Fi password on a regular basis. (See “SSID (Wi-Fi<br />
Network Name)” on page 87 and “Wi-Fi Password” on page 90.)<br />
● Disable SSID Broadcast. (See “Network Panel” on page 84.)<br />
● Use the highest level of Wi-Fi security that your devices support. (See “Wi-Fi Security” on page 89.)<br />
● Change the login password. (See “Changing the Administrator Password” on page 75.)<br />
● Use MAC filtering to specify computers that are or aren’t allowed to connect to the network. (See<br />
“MAC Filter Panel” on page 86.)<br />
Finding the MAC Address<br />
You’ll need to know the MAC address of a device when:<br />
● Assigning an IP address based on a MAC address (when using DHCP). (See “DHCP Static IP<br />
Assignment List” on page 104.)<br />
● Allowing or denying computers access to the network. (See “Allowing or Denying Computers<br />
Access to the Network” on page 91. )<br />
Tip: You can display a list of connected devices, including the MAC address of each device: click List of<br />
connected devices, available from Advanced settings > Wi-Fi > MAC Filter or from Advanced<br />
settings > Wi-Fi > Network.<br />
The steps to finding the MAC address of a device vary, depending on your operating system.<br />
Windows<br />

appears as a series of numbers and letters — this is the MAC address of your wireless adapter.<br />
