# Best Practices for Wi-Fi and 3G/LTE Setup on the POS App

Confirm compatibility with Store LAN peripherals so your Cellular iPad connects, regardless of the network. Select LTE as the backup network mode to provide a failover mechanism for continuous connectivity if Wi-Fi fails.

## Maintain Compatibility with Store LAN Peripherals

Users employing both Wi-Fi and cellular connections, particularly with cellular iPads, confirm integration with Store LAN peripherals. It's crucial to verify that the Cellular iPad can still establish connections with these peripherals, regardless of the network mode in use.

## Choosing Between LTE Backup and 3G

As the backup network mode, we suggest LTE because it can help if Wi-Fi fails. It maintains your connection even if the Wi-Fi network fails. To facilitate this, users can set up a Cellular hotspot with an LAN cable connection to the Wi-Fi router. However, this process can cause a temporary glitch in the POS app during the switch-over period.

## Optimizing LAN Component Usage

Consider the necessity of using all physically connected or Bluetooth devices for dual connectivity. Bluetooth connections are still working even if the network is down. However, be aware of possible interference problems, especially if many devices use Bluetooth connections. Depending solely on Bluetooth connectivity can also restrict mobility, especially in scenarios involving no fixed registers.
