1. Select a Site – Choose a proper place for the access point. In general, the best
location is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of sight of all
wireless devices. Try to place the access point in a position that can best cover
its Basic Service Set (refer to “Infrastructure Wireless LAN” on page 3-2). For
optimum performance, consider these points:
• Mount the access point as high as possible above any obstructions in the
coverage area.
• Avoid mounting next to or near building support columns or other obstructions
that may cause reduced signal or null zones in parts of the coverage area.
• Mount away from any signal absorbing or reflecting structures (such as those
containing metal).
2. Mount the Access Point – The access point can be mounted on any
horizontal surface, wall or suspended ceiling.
Mounting on a horizontal surface – The four attached rubber feet keep the
access point from sliding on smooth surfaces.
