EXAMPLE 1 - CEILING INSTALLATION
EXAMPLE 2 - WALL INSTALLATION
With this type of coverage pattern it is very important to mount the AP so that the base of the coverage cone covers the desired wireless clients.
This can be accomplished by mounting the AP to the ceiling above the clients with the face of the AP (the side with the LED lights) pointed down
toward the oor. Alternatively, the AP can be mounted on a wall at the approximate height of the client antennas with the face of the AP (the side
with the LED lights) pointed at the clients. Do not mount the AP level with the clients and the face pointed up at the ceiling as this will not achieve
the desired coverage pattern. See diagrams below. Examples 1 and 2 show proper mounting placements. Example 3 illustrates a situation to
avoid.

STEP 4 -
After all the APs are up and running, perform a post installation coverage check. There are many free tools that can be loaded onto a
laptop that will allow you to check your RSSI (received signal strength intensity) values. InSSIDer is one such program, available on Metageek.
With this program, or another similar program installed on a laptop or smartphone, check the RSSI values around the tness equipment. Look
for values that are greater than -70 dBm. If the signal strength is signicantly lower than this value (-75 dBm or less), consider installing additional
access points.
