Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point Radio Frequency Coverage
Note
Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend access points are designed to work behind a router or other
gateway device that is using network address translation (NAT). NAT allows a device, such as a router,
to act as an agent between the Internet (public) and a personal network (private), thereby enabling an
entire group of computers to be represented by a single IP address. In controller software release 6.0,
only one Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend access point can be deployed behind a single NAT
device.

Frequency Coverage
To ensure the best RF coverage for your access point, keep the following in mind:
•
Position the access point lower than or with the LED side facing your devices.
Note
Most of the coverage area is located towards the LED side of the access point.
•
If the access point is in close proximity and above your device, the signal may become skewed.
