Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
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 3-3). 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.
Mounting on a horizontal surface – To keep the access point from sliding on the
surface, attach the four rubber feet provided in the accessory kit to the marked
circles on the bottom of the access point.
3. Lock the Access Point in Place – To prevent unauthorized removal of the
access point, you can use a Kensington Slim MicroSaver security cable (not
included) to attach the access point to a fixed object.
