-Be aware, that the UniPi PLCs have internal WiFi antenna inside of the PLC's metal enclosure without the possibility of connecting an external antenna. The signal reception is far from being ideal and it has to be taken into account when using it as a main network connection.+Be aware, that the Unipi PLCs have internal WiFi antenna inside of the PLC's metal enclosure without the possibility of connecting an external antenna.
