  • Page 16: Notes On Usage

    When using AP-800AX near the following devices - Microwave oven, industrial/scientific equipment, etc. The above devices use the same radio frequency band as the wireless LAN. Using AP-800AX near the above devices may cause radio wave interference. As the result, communication may be lost, the speed may slow down, or the operation of the above devices may be adversely affected.
  • Page 17 1. Introduction Wireless devices using 2.4GHz band The same frequency band of AP-800AX is used for a microwave, industry, science, medical equipment and licensed in room or low power (non-licensed) radio stations. - Before you use AP-800AX, check that it does not interfere with other devices.

  • Page 18: Notes On Security

    AP-800AX User's Manual 1. Introduction 1-3-2. Notes on Security Because a wireless LAN uses electromagnetic signals instead of a LAN cable to establish communication with network devices, it has the advantage of allowing devices to connect to the network easily. However, a disadvantage of this is that within a certain range, the electromagnetic signals can pass through barriers such as walls, and if security countermeasures are not implemented in some way, problems such as the following may occur.
