Perform a Site Survey
Before installing the Access Point, perform a site survey to determine the optimal Access
Point placement or maximum range, coverage, and network performance. When
performing a site survey, consider the following factors:
■
Data rates : Range is generally inversely proportional to data rates. The maximum radio
range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. Higher data rates will generally be
achieved at closer distances.
■
Antenna type and placement : Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in
maximizing radio range. As a general rule, radio range is increased by mounting the
radio higher off of the ground with the Access Point oriented so that the dome is facing
down (for recommended orientation examples, refer to
Figure 7 on page 11). If you
are connecting an external antenna (5GHz only) to the Access Point, mount the Access
Point so that the external antenna is pointing down.
