Chapter 3 Product Overview Radio Coverage of the Access Point to Client Devices When using the Access Point to connect client devices, adjust it so the client devices are on the same horizontal plane as the Access Point and within a 3dB angle of 50 degrees. This will ensure the strongest signal and maximum reach. If the Access Point is used inside a building, put it in a corner of the building for maximum coverage. Access Point to Access Point (bridging) Radio Coverage If the Access Point is used as a bridge or repeater, adjust the Access Points so they face each other, this will ensure the strongest signal and maximum reach. Make sure that the orientation of the two Directional Antennas is the same. The radio wave is polarized so a 90 degree rotation will result in no received power. Due to its directional characteristics, the internal antenna is ideal for point-to-point bridge mode or the spoke side of point-to-multipoint bridge mode. An external omni‑directional antenna (e.g. HGA9N) is recommended for repeater mode applications. Wireless-G Exterior Access Point with Power Over Ethernet
