Single Access Point Placement:

 Because the signal generated by the 

XAP-1610 is omnidirectional, the unit should be located as near as possible 
to the center of the desired coverage area.

XAP-1610 Single AP Coverage Pattern

 

X

Multiple Access Point Placement:

 You may need to experiment with 

AP placement to optimize the roaming experience. Place APs to ensure 
adequate coverage, but not so far apart that there is no signal overlap. 
Adjacent APs should overlap enough that the client device has a good 
connection to the AP to which it is currently attached, but also sees the 
next-nearest AP. Ideally, roaming clients should see signal strength of  
two overlapping APs in the range of -60 to -70 dBm at the midway  
point between two APs. To learn more about AP placement, visit
