  1. Actual wireless data throughput will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors including building layout, obstacles, and client location.
  2. Cudy AP Controller is required to enable this feature.
  3. Actual performance for multiple devices may be affected by the types of applications used, the total available bandwidth, and the capabilities of your devices. Connecting older Wi-Fi devices (legacy standards) may reduce overall efficiency. Using efficiency features requires compatible client devices that also support those features. Find more information about supported efficiency features in the software section of the Specs spreadsheet.
