To verify your practice’s bandwidth, go to http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest and select the city closest to you. If your bandwidth does not meet the minimum requirements for your practice type, contact your Internet service provider.

Local Area Network

The minimum transmission speed is 100 Mbps.

The recommended transmission speed is 1 Gbps.

Wireless Network

The recommended specification is 802.11n run at a minimum of 108 Mbps on the 5 GHz band.

To ensure that a uniform, good-quality wireless signal is available where your Eyefinity products are used, perform a wireless spectrum survey.

Network Topology

For best performance, use a decentralized Internet access architecture.

Redundancy

A single internet connection is a potential weak point. For failover protection, install two connections from different companies, one as the primary connection and the other as a backup.
