  Note

• Check the compatibility of the used hardware with the ClickShare Wi-Fi, as not all hardware has the capability to work on 5 GHz Wi-Fi channels
  ClickShare Base Units operate in either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency band, except for the CSE-800 that has concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi.
   

For mobile devices, the following specific guidelines should be followed

iOS:

• Only iPhone 5 and upwards support 5GHz Wi-Fi channels
• Only iPad2 and upwards support 5GHz Wi-Fi
• Set the frequency in the Base Unit to 2.4 GHz for connecting with the older device

Android:

Most modern Android smartphone supports a smart Wi-Fi switcher. This enables the Wi-Fi connection when a network with internet access is detected and switches to a data connection (3G/4G) when no Wi-Fi can be found. In case the message Error, host unknown is shown, please check your mobile device follow the steps below.
