Motorola Solutions AP-7131N-FGR Access Point Installation Guide
• Point the access point antennas downward if attaching to the ceiling.
To maximize the access point's radio coverage area, Motorola Solutions recommends conducting a
site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before installing the access point.

2.4.1 Antenna Options

Motorola Solutions supports two antenna suites for AP-7131N-FGR. One antenna suite supporting
the 2.4 GHz band and another antenna suite supporting the 5 GHz band. Select an antenna model best
suited to the intended operational environment of your access point.
NOTE
R1 defines the access point's radio 1 antenna connectors and R2 defines radio 2 antenna connectors.
On dual-radio model AP-7131N-FGR access points, Radio 1 refers to the
2.4 GHz radio and Radio 2 refers to the 5 GHz radio. However, there could
be some cases where a dual-radio access point is performing a Rogue AP
detector function. In this scenario, the access point is receiving in either
2.4 GHz or 5 GHz over the Radio 1 or Radio 2 antennae depending on
which radio is selected for the scan. Certain Rogue AP detection features
use a radio to perform dual-band scanning. The dedicated radio should be
connected to an appropriate dual-band dipole antenna
