Frequency: The wifi standard offers two frequency ranges (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). The latter is recommended as the 2.4 GHz band may have a lot of radio traffic from other devices.
Channels: To manually select the channel it is recommended to use a wifi analyzer tool to test which channels are occupied or unoccupied. The web admin only allows the user to select channels that are legally permitted within the region where the MAX Connect is configured.
Placement: Place the device away from walls, metallic surfaces, or other radio equipment to prevent wifi obstacles.
