Note: In some cases, especially after connecting to a new Wi-Fi source, a reboot of the KING WiFiMax Router may be required to ensure stable connectivity.

Fehlerbehebung
If you encounter issues with your KING KF1000 Falcon system, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| No internet connection or very slow speeds. | Weak or poor quality source Wi-Fi signal; incorrect network selection; router issue. | Verify the strength and quality of the source Wi-Fi signal using another device.
