Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: • Install the access point in an area where large steel structures such as shelving units, bookcases, and filing cabinets do not block the radio signals to and from the access point. • Install the access point away from microwave ovens. Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as the access point and can cause signal interference. OL-4310-05 Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-3
