WiFi Signal Strength

The VX 680 supports WPA-PSK (aka WPA-Personal) and WPA2-PSK (aka WPA-Personal2) authentication formats and both AES and TKIP encryption. WPA2-PSK and AES encryption are recommended however these depend on your WiFi router and network capabilities.

There are certain environmental factors such as concrete walls and other devices that use the same frequency that can have an impact on the signal quality of the WiFi network. If possible, place your wireless access point in the center of the area you wish to cover. Also, consider mounting WiFi access points high on a wall or ceiling, avoid-ing any obstructions that can impede WiFi signals. For best WiFi performance, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding location and positioning.

Where to place the terminalPlace the terminal on a desk or tabletop. Avoid areas with direct sunlight, objects that radiate heat, excessive dust and other electri-cal devices that can cause excessive voltage.

There are certain environmental factors that can impact the quality and strength of wireless signals such as concrete walls and other devices that use the same frequency.

In this example, the 3 blue bars indicate a signal quality in the 50-75% range and the blue rings around the top of the tower indicate the device is communicating.

You can improve your wireless signal by placing the router in the centre of the area you wish to cover and by removing large furniture and shelving from the immedi-ate area.
