Antenna Performance and AP Orientation
To obtain the optimum performance from the AeroGuard™ MIMO AP, follow these guidelines when mounting the AP to a wall or ceiling:
•Antenna positioning – the antennas are fully articulating to protect against damage from being struck during or after installation. For optimum RF connectivity however, the antennas should be fully extended straight out to obtain the best RF pattern distribution.
•AP orientation – position the AP in one of two orientations, either with the antenna top side facing up or facing down to maintain the positioning of the antennas in a vertical orientation.
•Antenna RF pattern – The antenna provides a horizontal
