2.3 Position the Unit

Pro 11 wireless LAN products are robust, trouble-free units, designed to operate
efficiently under a wide range of conditions. The following guidelines are provided
to help you position the units to ensure optimum coverage and operation of the
wireless LAN.
Metal Furniture
Position the units clear of metal furniture and away from moving objects such as
metal fans or doors.
Microwave Ovens
For best performance, position the units clear of radiation sources that emit in the
2.4-GHz frequency band, such as microwave ovens.
Antennas
For models with integrated antennas, make sure the antennas point up. For
models with external antennas, connect the external antennas and RF cable. For
information about external antenna installation, refer to Section 5.3.
Heat Sources
