Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and Orientation

Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and 
Orientation

The location and orientation that you choose for the AP play a critical role in the 
performance of your wireless network. In general, Ruckus Wireless recommends installing 
the AP away from obstructions and sources of interference and ensuring that the AP’s dome 
is pointing in the general direction of its wireless clients.
