Hi Sandra. I have cheked it, it uses the 2,4 ghz standard. I am a little in doubt if that can give me problems. My router supports both the 2,4 and 5 ghz, but I am in doubt if I will need to change network to the speciffic 2,4 when I need to use the vacuum cleaner? With sonos I can use my normal network, but will it be the same with the bootvac, I am not intirely sure?
