Placing the Access Point
To ensure the best RF coverage for your access point, place your access point in an area as close to the
wireless clients as possible and practical to do so.
If the Internet source or gateway router is in a remote area, position your access point away from metal
obstructions.
The access point can be placed/mounted in a horizontal position, as the access point has rubber feet on
its bottom panel.
The access point may also be mounted in a vertical position using the supplied cradle or wall mounted
slots.
Note The distance between the mounting hole slots is 158.75 mm (6.25 in).

Chapter 1 Unpacking and Installing the Access Point
Placing the Access Point
Areas to avoid or places that may result in reduced range or performance are as follows.
•In a basement of a multi-story home, as the signals must penetrate many walls.
•Near large obstructions that can block the radio signals. Avoid areas like metal cabinets or
refrigerators.
•On the floor under a metal desk or other dense or conductive objects.
Note Cisco is not responsible for damages occurred by unsecured wall-mounting hardware.
