Recommended Wireless Environment for Multi PC Projection

When you connect multiple devices to a projector using the Quick connection mode, we recommend limiting the number of devices to six or less to maintain the projection performance. The number of devices that can connect to a projector at the same time differs depending on the wireless communication environment.
When you connect a projector to a wireless LAN and connect multiple devices wirelessly using the Advanced connection mode, note the following recommendations.
• Set up multiple access points so that one of the access points can connect up to 10 or 20 devices. See
the access point manual for more information on the maximum number of devices that can be connected.
• When you use multiple access points, assign a different channel to each access point, and use
different access points for the projector connection and the computer connection.
• Use a wireless LAN controller, if possible, to enhance the connection stability.
• Use an access point that supports 802.11n.
Contact your network administrator for help in setting up the wireless environment.
Note: If your projector supports a wired LAN connection, we recommend using a wired LAN connection when you connect multiple devices to the projector.
