Flat Surface Mounting Configuration

This illustration shows a flat surface mount configuration. 

For wall mount installation, the L-bracket is not used.

Placement and Other Important Considerations

Before installing your wireless antenna, observe the placement considerations. 
Antenna placement dramatically affects potential coverage. Follow these 
guidelines to maximize coverage:

Place the antenna in a vertical position. Either right side up or up-side-down is 
OK.

Place the antenna in the middle of the coverage zone and at 1.5m or higher 
above the floor.
