It is imperative to consider the wireless environment and the
placement of the Gateway and its antennas during troubleshoot-
ing. The Gateway communicates on the 2.4 GHz frequency using
the IEEE 802.15.4 channels. If the location has other wireless
devices or networking using the 2.4GHz frequency, please orient
the antennas away from these devices to manage interference. It
may be required to work with local personnel to manage the wire-
less environment to prevent causing interference with other Wi-Fi
installations and products.
