Antennas

Direct the external antenna to allow optimization of the wireless link. If for example 
the antenna is erect, wireless links in the horizontal plane are favoured. Please note 
that the antenna characteristics are influenced by the environment, that is by 
reflections of the radio signal against walls or ceilings. It is advisable to use the 
received signal strength as indicated by the wireless client manager to optimize the 
antenna position for the link to a given client.
Concrete walls will die down the radio signal strength and thus affect the 
connection.
