8 Guidelines on optimal WCAP setup
and configuration
8.1 Positioning the Confidea Wireless Access Point
Important remarks:
Do not place the WCAP behind obstacles like walls , cabinets, panels, projection screen, glass screens
etc… , as they significantly reduce RF signal strength and quality
Don’t place antennas above suspended ceilings as this causes unnecessary reflections and
signal attenuation
Don’t place antennas close to power cables , cable trays and electric machinery
Don’t put antennas in metal cable trays or metal shelves as this will significantly reduce the
signal quality
Microwaves ovens and Bluetooth devices way cause intermittent interference in the 2.4GhZ
range, so 5ghZ range is recommended
Avoid mounting the wcap on a pillar since this will cause signal “shadows” ; areas with reduced
of no signal reception
Below you can find how to select a correct positioning of the WCAP.
