2 Before you Begin
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the
EnGenius ALL-WAP02850N is essential to maximize the access point’s performance.
Avoid placing the ALL-WAP02850N in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or
stairwell.
2.1 Considerations for Wireless Installation
Generally, the exact operating distance of a wireless device, like the ALL-WAP02850N,
cannot be pre-determined due to a number of unknown variables or obstacles in the
environment in which the device will be deployed. These could be the number,
thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, elevator shafts, stairwells, or other objects
that the device's wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key guidelines to
allow the ALL-WAP02850N to have optimal wireless range.

Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the ALL-WAP02850N and
other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or ceiling can reduce the
signal strength, resulting in lower signal strength.

Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum studs
may have a significant negative effect on the signal strength of the
ALL-WAP02850N. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass
through drywall and/or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal,
concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets and/or brick can also
diminish wireless signal strength.

Interference from other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF
noise can also diminish the ALL-WAP02850N’s signal strength. The most
common types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.
