Abstract
A wireless router applying an antenna control method includes a number of antennas and communicates with a number of terminal devices via the antennas. The antenna control method includes detecting a current bandwidth Bcur of each terminal device communicating with the wireless router and determining a maximum bandwidth Bmax of each of the terminal devices, computing a weighted sum SUMB of the bandwidths of the terminal devices according to the detected current bandwidth Bcur and the maximum bandwidth Bmax of each terminal device, comparing the weighted sum SUMB of the bandwidths with a first preset value, and turning on or turning off at least one of the antennas according to the compared result. A wireless router is also provided.
