Selecting a Site
The best location for access points is at the center of
your wireless coverage area, within line of sight of all
wireless devices. For optimum performance,
consider these points:
•
Mount the access point as high as possible above
any obstructions in the coverage area.
•
Avoid mounting next to or near building support
columns or other obstructions that may cause
reduced signal or null zones in parts of the
coverage area.
•
Mount away from any signal absorbing or
reflecting structures (such as those containing
metal)

AP2605 Wireless Access Point
Mounting the Access Point
The access point can be mounted on any horizontal
surface or a wall. The access point should be
mounted only to a wall or wood surface that is at
least 1/2‐inch plywood or its equivalent. To mount
the access point on a wall, or ceiling, always use its
wall‐mounting bracket.
1. Using the mounting bracket, mark the position of
the four screw holes on the wall or ceiling. For
concrete or brick walls or ceilings, you will need
to drill holes and insert wall plugs for the screws.
2. Position the mounting bracket over the wall or
ceiling screw holes, then insert the four screws
and tighten them down to secure the bracket
firmly to the wall.
3. Attach the access point to the mounting bracket,
as shown in Figure
