router may solve the problem. If you use

802.11n (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) or 802.11ac

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.

 On the “Wireless Settings” screen ( 34), 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
