Hardware Installation
1. Select a Site – Choose a proper place for the access point. In
general, the best location is at the center of your wireless
coverage area, within line of sight of all wireless devices. Try
to place the access point in a position that can best cover its
Basic Service Set (refer to "Infrastructure Wireless LAN" on
page 3-3). Normally, the higher you place the access point,
the better the performance.
2. Mount the Access Point – The access point can be mounted
on any horizontal surface or wall. You can mount the access
point on a wall as shown in the illustrations on the next page.
Mounting on a horizontal surface – To keep the access
point from sliding on the surface, attach the four rubber feet
provided in the accessory kit to the embossed circles on the
bottom of the access point.
Mounting on a wall – The access point should be mounted
only to a wall or wood surface that is at least 1/2-inch plywood
or its equivalent.
Position the mounting bracket on the wall, and mark the holes.
The orientation shown in the following figure is the most
secure position for mounting the access point. Do not mount
the access point with the retaining latches pointing down.
To mount the access point on a plastered brick or concrete
wall, first drill four holes 22 mm deep and 3.5 mm in diameter,
and press the four included wall plugs firmly into the drilled
holes until they are flush with the surface of the wall.
