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.

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
