Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and
Orientation
The location and orientation that you choose for the Access Point play a critical role in the
performance of your wireless network. In general, Ruckus Wireless recommends installing
the Access Point away from obstructions and sources of interference and ensuring that the
Access Point’s dome is pointing to the general direction of its wireless clients.
