  1. Utilise 5GHz Wi-Fi

    • Connect Vivi devices to a 5GHz Wi-Fi network whenever possible to take advantage of higher bandwidth and reduced interference compared to 2.4GHz networks. 

  2. Separate SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz

    • Set up separate SSIDs for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks to enable Vivi devices to connect directly to the desired 5GHz band.  If you have a dedicated SSID for Vivi, then consider only enabling only one of these frequencies.

  3. Band Steering

    • Implement band steering functionality on the Wi-Fi network infrastructure to encourage devices to connect to the 5GHz network automatically. 

    • Band steering directs capable devices, such as Vivi devices, to connect to the 5GHz band, optimising performance and SNR. 

  4. Line of Sight and Placement

    • Ensure that the Vivi device has a clear line of sight to the access point (AP). Avoid placing the device behind objects, such as TVs or furniture, that may obstruct the wireless signal. 

    • Consider repositioning the Vivi device to a location that provides direct visibility to the AP, minimising obstructions and improving signal reception. 

  5. Reduce Interference and Noise

    • Minimise sources of interference and noise in the classroom environment that can degrade the wireless signal. 

    • Keep Vivi devices away from other electronic equipment, such as microwave ovens or cordless phones, that can cause signal interference. 

    • Avoid placing Vivi devices near walls or metal objects that may reflect or block the Wi-Fi signal. 

  6. Regular Maintenance and Monitoring

    • Continuously monitor the performance of Vivi devices using Vivi Central's analysis tools to identify any fluctuations in SNR or signal strength. 

    • Conduct periodic site surveys to assess coverage, identify dead zones, and make necessary adjustments to optimise the Wi-Fi environment.
