Tips:
​
-
Ensure your device is unobstructed, do not leave in a case, a separate room, or under street level (such as in a basement) while in operation. This may result in poor connectivity.
-
If possible, place the device near a window, doorway, skylight, or other opening. This will allow for greater signal strength, and in turn, faster upload and download speeds.
-
When using for livestreaming or uploading of large files, it is recommended that you use the ethernet ports.
-
Minimizing the number of devices connected to the router will allow for greater bandwidth. It is recommended that during critical usage (livestreams, video conferences, etc.) only the feeding computer, camera, or switcher be connected to the network.
