The access point includes three integrated external MIMO (multiple-input
and multiple-output) antennas. MIMO uses multiple antennas for
transmitting and receiving radio signals to improve data throughput and
link range.
Each antenna transmits the outgoing signal as a toroidal sphere (doughnut
shaped), with the coverage extending most in a direction perpendicular to
the antenna. Therefore, the antennas should be adjusted to an angle that
provides the appropriate coverage for the service area.
The access point supports external antennas for improving the coverage of
the 802.11n signal. The antennas supplied with the unit screw off in a
clockwise manner and can be replaced with with alternative antennas that
extend or shape the coverage area.
