Access Point Placement
For optimal performance, install the Access Point away from transformers, heavy-duty
motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial equipment.
Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls, or floors block transmission. Install the
Access Point in an open area or add Access Points as needed to improve coverage.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be
not bright enough. An area lit sharply might minimize coverage and create dark areas.
Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even placement of a light bulb) provides even,
efficient coverage.
Place the Access Point using the following guidelines:
● Install the Access Point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
● Orient the Access Point antennas vertically for best reception.
To maximize the Access Point’s radio coverage area, Extreme Networks recommends
conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before
installing the Access Point.
