wireless devices are located. The following conditions may cause connection problems:
A concrete or metal framed wall is located between the Brother machine and the access point.
Electric appliances such as televisions, computer appliances, microwave ovens, intercoms,
mobile/cellular phone, battery chargers or AC power adaptors are installed close to your network.
A broadcast station or high-tension wire is located close to your network.
A nearby fluorescent light is being switched on or off.
