Data will be resent if not successfully received on supported devices. Sources of in‑band
high interference may result in slow connection, difculty when pairing devices, or both. If you
experience any of these, you may need to decrease the distance between the communicating
devices. For information on how to improve connection issues, see the “Troubleshooting Wireless
Coexistence Issues” section of this manual.
