When using the transmitter with a wireless LAN, try the following corrective actions if the
transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur.
transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur.
When using the transmitter indoors, install the wireless LAN device in the same room
where you are shooting.
where you are shooting.
Install the wireless LAN device higher than the transmitter.
Install the device where people or objects do not come between it and the camera.
Install the device as close as possible to the camera. In particular, note that during
outdoor use in poor weather, rain may absorb radio waves and disrupt the connection.

If the transmission rate over a wireless LAN drops because of interference from the following
electronic devices, switching to a wired LAN can resolve the problem.
electronic devices, switching to a wired LAN can resolve the problem.
In IEEE 802.11b/g wireless networks, the transmitter communicates using radio waves in
the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the wireless LAN transmission rate may drop if there
are nearby microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, or similar devices
operating on the same frequency band.

are nearby microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, or similar devices
operating on the same frequency band.
If a wireless LAN device on the same frequency band as the transmitter is used nearby,
the transmission rate of the wireless LAN may drop.
the transmission rate of the wireless LAN may drop.
If multiple transmitters are connected to a single wireless LAN device, be careful not to
use duplicate camera IP addresses.

Note that the transmission rate drops when multiple transmitters access a single wireless
LAN device.
LAN device.
To reduce radio wave interference when using multiple transmitters and wireless LAN
devices in the same area, it is advisable to use three groups of devices or fewer. In this
case, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN channel. For example,
use channels 1, 6, and 11; or channels 2, 7, and 12; or channels 3, 8, and 13.
When IEEE 802.11a can be used, switch to IEEE 802.11a and specify a different channel.

Wireless LAN radio waves can be easily intercepted. For this reason, we recommend
activating encrypted communication in the wireless LAN device settings.
