Things to Consider Before Starting

Several factors will help decide the best place to install NXR-ZGW and NXR-ZRP devices. Before installing, consider the following:

Location and Antenna Direction

The best location for NXR-ZGW and NXR-ZRP devices are usually in the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile devices. Try to place the antenna in a position that can best cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance you receive. Try to place the gateway and repeater devices a reasonable distance away from each other to minimize antenna feedback. FIG. 5 displays the coverage for various positioning of the antenna.

FIG. 5 Horizontal and Vertical Antenna Radiation

For minimal interference, try to keep any installed NXR-ZGW at least 10 feet (3.048m) from any WiFi access points.

Vertical radiation may vary slightly based on the selected channel.
