To reduce interference:
• Move the tablet and Wi-Fi router closer together.
• Move the Bluetooth devices closer together.
• Avoid using the tablet near power cables, microwave ovens, fluorescent lights, wireless video cameras, and
cordless phones.
• Reduce the number of active devices that use the same wireless frequency band. If the Wi-Fi router
supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, connect more Wi-Fi devices to the 5 GHz band.
• Configure the Wi-Fi router to use a different Wi-Fi channel, or have it scan for the channel with the least
interference.
When using USB-3 devices with the tablet, limit their potential to interfere with nearby wireless devices:
• Use a high-quality, shielded USB cable or accessory (for example, thumb drive. etc.).
• Move the tablet farther away from your wireless devices.
• Connect USB-3 devices to the ports farthest from your computer's Wi-Fi antenna. For example, if your
computer has ports on the back, prefer the USB ports closest to the middle. If your computer has ports on
the side, prefer the USB ports closest to the front.
• Turn off any USB 3 devices that are not in use.
• Switch to 5 GHz Wi-Fi, if available.
Avoid physical obstructions in the path of the wireless signal. For example, a metal surface between your
Bluetooth mouse and tablet could cause the mouse to perform poorly, and a metal-reinforced concrete floor
between your Wi-Fi router and Wi-Fi device could cause poor Wi-Fi performance.
• Low interference potential: wood, glass, and many synthetic materials
• Medium interference potential: water, bricks, marble
• High interference potential: plaster, concrete, bulletproof glass
• Very high interference potential: metal.
