Change the Transmission Power Control
By default, you router’s transmission power is set to 100%. This allows your router to
give you whole home WiFi coverage. If you don’t need whole home WiFi coverage, and
you also want to save power consumption while using your router, you can lower the
transmission power of your router.
To change the transmission power control:

router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router admin user name and password.
