A Quick Look at a few

Remember the best place for an Access Point is as close to the users as possible – Avoid metal or conductive objects in the near field (they cause the radio waves to become directional and increases nulls (dead spots). If you must mount the AP in a high ceiling, look at directional antennas to direct (angle down) the signal to the intended target area and always mount dipoles in the correct orientation.
