Figure 2: Recommended AP Placement
• The maximum distance between APs depends on environmental factors such as the presence of
walls and structures, but as rule of thumb, in a location-aware deployment, place the APs 10 to 20
meters apart.
• Install APs at the same height on the wall, and do not install APs behind walls or ceilings.
• Install APs away from metal structures like poles or racks, because metal can aect the radiated
pattern.
