do no use WEP nor OPEN.) This Wi-Fi configuration is the factory default for all boards, so it will minimize the
effort for first-time users. If preparing for a (medium/large) classroom demo, the user should set up a proper
Wi-Fi router (2.4 GHz) instead. This will give a better range and capacity while using the same Wi-Fi
credentials, if possible.
3. Make Google Chrome or Firefox the default web browser. Safari works well on MACs. Internet Explorer is not
recommended.
4. Ensure no pop-up blockers or other anti-virus browser extensions are active. These can and will interfere with
the script that is at the heart of the microsite. Often, these can be selectively disabled for that specific web
page.
5. Take into account the amount of Wi-Fi pollution in the place where the board is operated.
6. If using a router, verify that the network does not have a firewall that can block access to the AWS Cloud
server. If using a mobile 4G (or phone LTE hotspot) for Internet connectivity, ensure it is fully charged and does
not have any firewall settings that might block access.
