22.1.1 What You Need To Know

Positioning the antennas properly increases the range and coverage area of a wireless LAN.
On the Zyxel Device that comes with internal antennas and also has an antenna switch, you can adjust
coverage depending on the antenna orientation for the Zyxel Device radios using the web
configurator, the command line interface (CLI) or a physical switch. Check
see if your Zyxel Device has an antenna switch.

Note: With the physical antenna switch, you apply the same antenna orientation settings to
both radios. You can set the radios to have different settings while using the Web
Configurator or the command line interface.
Note: The antenna switch in the Web Configurator has priority over the physical antenna
switch after you Enable Software Control in the Maintenance > Antenna screen. By
default, software control is disabled.

22.2 Antenna Switch Screen

To access this screen, click Maintenance > Antenna.
The screen varies depending on whether the Zyxel Device has a physical antenna switch or allows you
