Choosing a mounting location
Keep the antenna away from obstacles and metallic objects such as heating and air-conditioning
ducts, large ceiling trusses, and primary power transmission systems.
Typically, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the larger the signal coverage area.
If possible, use a cable as short as possible to connect the antenna and AP.

provided with the antenna (installation tools are user supplied). If you intend to mount your antenna
