Figure 64: Improper Installation — AP not Level or Stable
Tip: When mounting antennas outside, always mount with the antenna leads and drain holes down so that rainwater does not enter the antenna. This approach is not necessary for indoor mounting. (See Figure 65.) Use Coax‐Seal to protect against weather exposure but do not obstruct the drain holes. (See Figure 66.)
