• Page 3 - English - : Before You Begin Wireless technology can be an amazing enhancement over running conventional data cable but it does require careful consideration in terms of the environment and setup used The following is a list of best practices identified for the best possible wireless experience with your new JBL PRX800 speakers Recommended Routers Use a multiband router which supports 80211ac 5GHz and 80211n 24GHz Use a router with multiple external antennas Router Setup Tips Isolate the router The router which you use for your PA system should only have the JBL PRX speakers and your tablet connected to the router Connecting additional devices to your PA router may affect the bandwidth and latency of the router If this is not possible you should try to put any devices that are not PRX speakers on to the 5GHz band Setting up the access point The JBL PRX800 speakers use the 24GHz frequency and support up to 80211n If your router supports it limit the 24GHz to just 80211n devices and ignore 80211b and 80211g bands If the tablet and router being used support 5GHz we recommend connecting both using the 80211ac band 5GHz This separates the trafc from your tablet to the router and the trafc between the router and the PRX speakers for maximum performance WiFi channel selection 80211n 24 GHz WiFi only supports 3 nonoverlapping channels These are 1 6 and 11 It is recommended that you choose one of these channels in the router settings instead of allowing the typical AUTO selection on most routers The best available channel when the router was originally setup may not be the best available channel now There are tools available on Android called WiFi Analyzers which scan the WiFi channels and show you just how crowded each channel is These tools can be used to determine the best available channel if needed The 5GHz frequency band is generally the least crowded but it is still recommended to use the WiFi Analyzer tools to determine the best frequency to set in the router for connection between your tablet and the router Router placement We recommend placing the router both above and behind your speaker setup for best results especially in locations with an excessive amount of WiFi trafc Testing WiFi PRX Connect includes a diagnostic tool to determine the quality of your connection between your tablet and the loudspeakers
