   * <font 14px/Calibri, sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>Make sure you have a 1000MBit network card, aka Gigabit network card and that your network switches are also 1000MBit. If you have an IT person, have them test that you are getting the proper speeds on the cards. Just because it says it's connected at 1000MBit doesn't mean it's actually sending the data at the higher level speeds. The faster your network, the faster Control will be on your client systems.</font>   * <font 14px/Calibri, sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>Make sure you have a 1000MBit network card, aka Gigabit network card and that your network switches are also 1000MBit.

- +  * <font 11.0pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Choose an Anti-Virus application that does not consume many system resources. We recommend utilizing Windows Defender as it covers all basic anti-virus protection and does not consume too much processor or memory.</font>  * <font 11.0pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Don’t use a wireless network. Wireless networking of any type or speed is not supported and is Strongly Discouraged. Control maintains a persistent connection between itself and SQL Server. Due to the constantly varying environment, wireless networking is inherently less stable than a wired connection. When the network fades or drops, even temporarily, Control will be disconnected and any work in progress will be lost. Cyrious technicians are not able to troubleshoot connectivity or stability issues over a wireless network.</font>  * <font 11.0pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Utilizing Control through an offsite VPN connection is not supported.</font>
