33When using the transmitter with a Wi-Fi network, try the following corrective actions if thetransmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur.When using the transmitter indoors, place the wireless router in the same room where youare shooting.Place the wireless router in an open, unobstructed location, where people or objects do notcome between it and the camcorder.Place the wireless router as close as possible to the camcorder. In particular, note thatduring outdoor use in poor weather, rain may absorb radio waves and disrupt theconnection.If the transmission rate over a Wi-Fi network drops because of interference from the followingelectronic devices, switching to the 5 GHz band or to a different channel may solve theproblem.The transmitter communicates over Wi-Fi networks via IEEE 802.11b/g using radio wavesin the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the transmission rate may drop if there are nearbymicrowave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, or similar devices operating on thesame frequency band.If an access point operating on the same frequency band as the transmitter is used nearby,the transmission rate may drop.If multiple transmitters are connected to a single wireless router (access point), be carefulnot to use duplicate camera IP addresses.Note that the transmission rate drops when multiple transmitters access a single wirelessrouter (access point).To reduce radio wave interference when there are multiple wireless IEEE 802.11b/gaccess points, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN channel. Forexample, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2, 7, and 12, or channels 3, 8, and 13.When IEEE 802.11a/n can be used, switch to IEEE 802.11a/n and specify a differentchannel.Wi-Fi communications can be easily intercepted. For this reason, we recommendactivating encrypted communication in the wireless router (access point) settings.About Wi-Fi NetworksLocation and Antenna Position of the Wireless Router or Wi-Fi-EnabledDeviceNearby Electronic DevicesUsing Multiple TransmittersSecurityCOPY
