(2.4 GHz) wireless router may solve the
problem. If you use 802.11n (2.4 GHz)
wireless router, it is necessary to set the
encryption type to “AES”.
Simultaneous use with a microwave, cordless
telephone etc. at 2.4 GHz may result in
connection interruptions or other problems.
¾ On the “Wireless Settings” screen (> 26), the
continuous lighting of at least 4 “Reception”
indicators is the target for a stable connection.
If 3 or fewer indicators are lit or the
connection is being interrupted, change the
position or angle of your wireless router and
see if the connection state improves. If there
is no improvement, connect to a wired
network and perform the “Easy Network
Setting” (> 13) again.
