Select a Location
All AP300 interconnected equipment, including the associated LAN connection, must be contained
within the same building. In addition, the AP300 location should meet the following conditions:
Relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves. Select a location with minimal physical

obstructions between the AP and the wireless stations. In an office with cubicles, mounting the APs
below a hanging ceiling (plenum is supported) or the wall near the ceiling provides the least
obstructed communications path. On a wall, orient the AP300 horizontally so that you can read the
Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO
performance.
Access to wall outl e t or a to a Power over Ethernet (P oE) connection to the network switch servicing

the controller.
AP300 is designed to provide 360 degree omni-directional coverage as illustrated below.
