Solving Network Problems

Wireless Network Connection is Unstable on a Mac

If you connected a device to a USB 3.0 port on your Mac, you may experience wireless network

interference between your product and your Mac.

If you cannot connect to your product over the wireless network or the connection becomes unstable,

move the device connected to your Mac USB 3.0 port further away from your Mac.

If your wireless router or access point has a 5 GHz band, connect to it (U.S. and Canada only).

Note for U.S. and Canada:

If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5

GHz band, give each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and

Home Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your internet service provider for

instructions.
