Installing the Access Point

Before You Begin

Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and 
Orientation

The location and orientation that you choose for the Access Point play a critical role 
in the performance of your wireless network. In general, Ruckus Wireless recommends 
installing the Access Point away from obstructions and sources of interference and 
ensuring that the top of the Access Point is pointing in the general direction of its 
wireless clients.

The recommended orientation differs slightly depending on the Access Point model. 
See the following sections according to your particular model: 

•

ZoneFlex 2942, 7942, 7962 Orientation

•

ZoneFlex 7341, 7343, 7363, 7321 and 7982 Orientation

ZoneFlex 2942, 7942, 7962 Orientation

The dome-shaped ZoneFlex APs (2942, 7942, 7962) have a wider horizontal plane 
coverage area (when mounted on the ceiling or desktop) compared to the other 
ZoneFlex APs.
