Your Pickle internet connection supports a wide range of business devices. This guide explains the correct way to connect them safely.
Adding Switches
Use a Gigabit unmanaged or managed switch.
Avoid Daisy-chaining multiple switches unless necessary.
Connecting Wireless Access Points
-
Use Ethernet backhaul where possible
-
Place APs every 10–15 metres in commercial sites
-
Avoid consumer mesh routers that conflict with Pickle routing
Connecting POS & EFTPOS
Most POS systems require:
✔ Static routing
✔ Reliable Wi-Fi
✔ Manufacturer-approved VLANs (if applicable)
Pickle Support can help configure your network.
