Installation Recommendations

If you plan to install the DAP-3711 on a pole,
orient the front of the access point (the side
without the LEDs) toward the intended coverage
area. The radio antennas transmit through the
front of the access point but not through the
reverse side (where the bracket is).
Be sure to install the device at a height that
ensures that the alignment between the
devices is visible and there is no obstruction
in the middle.
Checking the Signal Strength
Before fixing the device in place, slowly pan the
DAP-3711 from side to side and check the LED
indicator to find the position where the signal
is strongest.
Mounting on a Pole
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN port
on the DAP-3711.
2. Place the DAP-3711 against the pole
where you want it to be positioned.
