Cisco Aironet Series 3700 Access Point
Remember, the best antenna placement is the one where the antenna is physically closest to the actual
users. If you are mounting multiple single package dual band antennas externally, such as dipoles,
spacing is not critical but try to space them as far apart as practical (with “A” and “B” as the furthest
apart).

Antenna Placement- Avoid Spacing Antennas Further than 10 Ft (Antennas Should be
in the Same RF Coverage Area)
Note
Avoid using single band (single radiating element antennas) such as those used with earlier 3500 series
AP products because they are not fully compatible with the newer 1600/2600 and 3600 Series APs.
Antennas for the 1260 and 3500 series are single radiating element antennas made for each individual
band. The 3600, 2600, and 1600 APs use dual band - dual radiating element antennas and are branded
with an orange marking see

and
