Wireless-G Exterior Access Point

Figure 3-7: Access Point to Access Point (bridging) Radio Coverage

If the Access Point is used as a bridge or repeater, adjust the Access Points to face each other to ensure the strongest signal and maximum reach.

Make sure that the orientation of the two Directional Antennas is the same. The radio wave is polarized so a 90 degree rotation will result in no received power.

Due to its directional characteristics, the internal antenna is ideal for point-to-point bridge mode or the spoke side of point-to-multipoint bridge mode. It is recommended to use an external omni-directional antenna (e.g. HGA9N) for repeater mode applications.
