  • Page 102 Transmitting devices such as cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors and even routers can cause interference if too close. You can troubleshoot by turning off nearby transmitters and seeing if this improves the network performance of the KEF speaker system. If it does, try increasing the distance between the devices.
  • Page 103 If you have a lot of devices on the 2.4 GHz band, then there may be little available bandwidth left. If your KEF speaker system is close to the router and has little to no obstructions, try connecting it to the 5 GHz band for more bandwidth. If there are obstructions, try migrating network devices that are closer to the router to the 5 GHz band instead, freeing up bandwidth on the 2.4 GHz band.
  • Page 104 It is also worth noting that different router manufacturers handle mesh technology differently, and there may be compatibility issues with networked devices. If this is the case when using a KEF wireless speaker system, please send a support request, including the speaker logs, through the KEF Connect app.
