Choose a location for your Access Point. Usually, the best location is at the center of
your wireless coverage area, if possible within line-of-sight of all wireless devices.

Place the Wireless Access Point in a position that gives it maximum coverage.
Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better performance.
3.
Position the antennas in the desired positions.
4.
The GW-AP54SGX can be wired to an Ethernet network through an Ethernet device

connector. Use either straight through or crossover cabling depending on the port type
provided by the Ethernet device.
