WAP-6100.

1.Site selection

To avoid interferences, please locate WAP-6100 and wireless clients away from transformers, microwave ovens, heavy-duty motors, refrigerators, fluorescent lights, and other industrial equipments. Keep the number of walls, or ceilings between AP and clients as few as possible; otherwise the signal strength may be seriously reduced. Place WAP-6100 in open space or add additional WAP-6100 as needed to improve the coverage.

2.Environmental factors

The wireless network is easily affected by many environmental factors. Every environment is unique with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is hard to determine the exact operating range of WAP-6100 in a specific location without testing.
