Use a fast and stable network connection.	A slow or unstable network connection can result in a laggy or choppy remote desktop experience.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security.	2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring you to enter a code sent to your phone or email when logging in remotely.
Consider using a VPN for secure remote access over public networks.	A VPN encrypts your internet traffic, providing an additional layer of security when accessing your PC remotely over public Wi-Fi networks.

Compatibility Considerations

Before pairing your JBL wireless earbuds, it’s crucial to ensure compatibility between your earbuds and the device you intend to connect them to. Here are the key compatibility factors to consider:
