  ## **Network Requirements**

Network-connected devices must be on the same network to interact. We recommend connecting your device with a wired Ethernet connection whenever possible. This will improve connectivity and speed while reducing the chance of potential network issues. However, if your location doesn’t have an accessible Ethernet connection or you require mobility, a Wi-Fi connection can be used as an alternative.

The Wi-Fi connection on the device at the location where it will be used must:

- Be persistent
- Remain connected to only the intended, stable store Wi-Fi connection
- Have an average signal strength of -65 dBm or higher
- Have an average of 10 Mbit/​s internet download speed
- Use the Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) or newer standard
- Networks must support TLS 1.2 or higher. Any earlier versions will not be supported.

## **DOA, RMA, and Returns**
