Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN)
Wireless LAN (hereafter "Wi-Fi") uses radio waves
to enable communication between compatible
devices, thus allowing connection to a local area
network from anywhere within the range.
However, there is a risk of data interception unless
security is established. It is advisable for the user
to configure security settings on their own
responsibility before using Wi-Fi.

audiovisual equipment or office automation
equipment; may affect Wi-Fi transmission
speed, availability, clarity, etc. (There is a
possibility of interference especially when a
microwave oven is in use.)

correctly if there are multiple access points
nearby.
