Installing Your Wireless AP
Before continuing, ensure that you have followed the tips and
suggestions provided in Before You Begin on page 3.
The next task on the Installation Task List (see page 3) is to install
your Wireless AP. This section helps you locate it in the best
possible position and guides you through the installation process.
Locating Your Wireless AP
For maximum performance, install your Wireless AP in the center
of your network, in a place that has a line of sight to all the devices
connecting to it. Keep it as far away as possible from potential
sources of interference, such as microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz wireless
telephones, baby monitors and other wireless devices.
Note: The higher you place your Wireless AP, the better the
signal coverage will be, especially if you have WLAN stations
upstairs from your Wireless AP.
