Cisco Aironet 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Directional Array Antenna (AIR-ANT2566D4M-R)

  

Install the antenna away from microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones. These products can cause signal interference 
because they operate in the same frequency range as the device to which your antenna is connected.
