Description
The placement of an access point can significantly affect its performance and coverage area. Here are some general guidelines for access point placement:
- Place the access point in a central location: This can help ensure that the coverage area is evenly distributed and reduces the likelihood of dead spots.
- Avoid placing the access point near metal objects, walls, or large furniture: These objects can interfere with the wireless signal and reduce coverage area.
- Place the access point at a high location: This can help to increase the coverage area as the signal can travel further when it is not obstructed by walls or other objects.
- Consider the number of users: If you have a large number of users, you may need to place multiple access points to ensure adequate coverage.
