Hi Sandra. Yes I would love one of these vacuum cleaners, I need sighted assistance for vacuum cleaning, and if that could be saved sometimes, it could mean a little more freedom to me. My only problem now is if I would get in trouble with all my 5 ghz attached items. The 2.4 ghz is not working as good as the 5 ghz network. I have talked to my brother he thinks it ought to work, but he is also blind, but he knows a lot about routers, that is not something that I am an expert in.
Best regards Annie. > Den 3. jul. 2016 kl. 14.27 skrev 'Sandratomkins' via VIPhone > <[email protected]>: > > Annie, > If your router is set to the 2.4, you should be good to go!
