Q. Any other thoughts when installing wireless APs?
A. When installing wireless APs:
• It is all about placing the APs as reasonably close to the actual users as possible.
• Make sure that you have coverage (to a known requirement) and compensate for nulls or dead spots regardless of what
product you choose to deploy. This is called a site survey.
• Installations should be done based on lessons learned from the site survey – the better the survey the less likely any
connectivity problems will occur.
• Cisco has an advanced services team that can perform WLAN surveys or help with the wireless design if a partner is
not available or able to do the same.
• When possible, use Cisco brand antennas listed in this document (with the orange band).
• Do not mount antennas against metal objects. Similar to a light bulb, antennas work best when there are no obstructions
in the path.
• AP 1600, 2600, and 3600 are not weatherproof and have an IP rating of 40.
