must not exceed 100 meters.

G For Model 8550 Access Points, try to place the Access Point on a flat, sturdy

surface as far from the ground as possible, such as on top of a desk or book-

case, keeping clear of metal obstructions and away from direct sunlight.

G For Model 8551 Access Points, install the external antennas so that they are

clear of obstructions; refer to the documentation that came with the antennas for

mounting and installation instructions.

coverage to all of the mobile devices in the area.

G If you are not using the Harmony Power System to supply power to the Access

Point, the distance between the Access Point and a power outlet cannot exceed

the length of the power adapter's cable.
