WiFi Settings
AreaRAE Plus/Pro's WiFi is designed to operate on a wireless network anchored by ProRAE Guardian
monitoring software and using WiFi access points. Operational distance between the instrument and the
access point (wireless router) varies, depending on distance, interference, and obstacles. It uses the
802.11b protocol using the 2.4GHz ISM (license-free) frequency band.
Note: To ensure the best communication, it is recommended that the WiFi-equipped instruments and
access point not be located close to microwave ovens, cordless telephones, or Bluetooth devices.
