Antenna Performance and AP Orientation
To obtain the optimum performance from the AeroGuard™ MIMO AP, follow these guidelines
when mounting the AP to a wall or ceiling:
• Antenna positioning – the antennas are fully
articulating to protect against damage from
being struck during or after installation. For
optimum RF connectivity however, the
antennas should be fully extended straight
out to obtain the best RF pattern
distribution.
• AP orientation – position the AP in one of two
orientations, either with the antenna top side
facing up or facing down to maintain the
positioning of the antennas in a vertical
orientation.
• Antenna RF pattern – The antenna provides
a horizontal omni-directional pattern and
should not be positioned in a horizontal
orientation.
