5. The Public Broadcast is by definition a FILTERED network Devices connected to the Public Broadcast are segregated from the Private network of the WiFiRanger making it safe to have friends or neighbors on the Public network Adjusting Radio Power The topic of Radio Power is an important one as the principle of ess is more can apply Oftentimes the biggest problem faced with WiFi performance is caused by Wireless Noise The concept is that if there are multiple people talking in the same room it can get more difficult to hear the desired conversation when either more people are talking or they are talking louder Understanding this principle can help to improve WiFi performance and reliability When surrounded by many nearby WiFi networks it is often best to have the Radio Power of the WiFiRanger set on Low to reduce Wireless Noise and the problems caused by it However when needing to broadcast longer distances it is recommended to use the High setting to increase power and range It is also recommended to only have one WiFiRanger within a close proximity of another to have Radio Power set to High such as those using a WiFiRanger Go and WiFiRanger Sky Mobile or Marine In such cases where WFRCorntrol is being used it is recommended to have the WiFiRanger Go set to Low and the WiFiRanger Sky Mobile or Marine set to High so that they can reach out to weak WiFi networks Setting a WiFi Channel When manually setting the WiFiRanger to a c
