Answer | The SBG6580-2 has the ability to enhance Wi-Fi performance by Airtime Quality Prioritization.  This Enhancement helps balance the Airtime Usage when there are wireless clients with different wireless protocols like 802.11b, g, n or ac connected to the gateway.  By enabling Airtime Quality Prioritization, all wireless clients connected to the gateway will receive an equal share of the bandwidth, and ac wireless clients will receive a higher throughput.  Some wireless clients based on older technologies may receive less bandwidth than others when running in a mixed environment.  This document describes how to enable Airtime Quality Prioritization.
Enable Airtime Quality Prioritization
- Launch a Firefox or Safari browser.  Enter http://192.168.0.1 into the address box, and press the Enter key. Â
NOTE: A browser message on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera, may appear when accessing the Web Manager. The message includes 192.168.01 uses an unsupported protocol and ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH. The Web Manager uses an earlier version of the TLS protocol and does not match the version allowed by the web browser.  Safari browsers on Apple PC and mobile devices are not impacted.  The workaround to access the Web Manager with a PC is to use the Firefox browser and set the TLS version to 1. For workaround instructions refer to article # 19435 - 192.168.0.1 uses an unsupported protocol.Â
 - A security or private risk alert may appear on the web browser advising users to proceed with caution when accessing the Web Manager. There is no risk in proceeding to the Web Manager. For instructions to bypass the alert screen, refer to article # 18181 - Alert Message for Web Manager Access.
