Installing the Access Point
Before You Begin
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 in the general direction of its wireless
clients.
