Smaller bandwidths provide more channels to choose and help avoid interference issues. The system’s SNR is higher at smaller Channel Bandwidths and Range is longer.Antenna Signal Strength -35 dBm to -85 dBm (Recommended), (Absolute Maximum=+12 dBm)Antenna port isolation for concurrent operation+5 dBm signal strength for 2.4 GHz signal without degrading 5.x GHz operationIntegrated Antenna >20 KV (Human Body Model)

FCC StatementChanges or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority tooperate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCCRules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Thisequipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with theinstructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will notoccur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can bedetermined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of thefollowing measures:-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. -- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for helpThis device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions (1)this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operationSingapore: USA:Doodle Labs (SG) Pte.
