Installing the AP
3. Determining the Installation Position
When determining the AP installation position, comply with the following rules:
Try to reduce the number of obstacles, such as walls, between the AP and user terminals.
Install the AP away from electronic devices that can interfere the radio signal or make noises,
such as the microwave oven.
Install the AP in a hidden position that does not affect working and living of residents.
Install the AP away from water, drippings, and dews, and prevent water on cables from flowing
into the device along the cable.
Indoor APs can be mounted against the wall, the ceiling, or to a T-rail. The APs are generally
mounted against the wall or ceiling using sheet metal wall-mounting bracket; therefore, the
installation position is determined by the site survey. The cabling end of the device must be at least
200 mm away from the wall. Figure 2 shows the space requirements.
