This section will guide you through the installation
process. Placement of the EnGenius EAP900H is essential
to maximize the Access Point’s performance. Avoid placing
the EAP900H in an enclosed space such as a closet,
cabinet, or stairwell.
Considerations for Wireless Installation
The operating distance of all wireless devices can often
not be pre-determined due to a number of unknown
obstacles in the environment in which the device is
deployed. Obstacles such as the number, thickness,
and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that
the EAP900H’s wireless signals must pass through
can weaken the signal. Here are some key guidelines
for allowing the EAP900H to have an optimal wireless
range during setup.
• Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the EAP900H
and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or ceiling
can reduce the signal strength, resulting in a lower overall signal
strength.
• Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door and/or
aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on the
signal strength of the EAP900H. 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 your other electrical devices and/or appliances
that generate RF noise can also diminish the EAP900H’s signal
strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or
cordless phones.
