Araknis Networks Wireless Access Point
Quick Start Guide
Installation
Step 1. Select A Mounting Location
General Guidelines
• Locate the WAP in a central location. Mounting height or position
(ceiling/wall) will not aect performance, but higher mounting will
provide better coverage.
• Avoid mounting near kitchens or rooms with large appliances that
may give o EMI noise, which can reduce connection speed, and in
extreme cases, block WiFi connectivity altogether.
• As a rule of thumb, each WAP can cover about a 300 ft (100m)
circle (actual performance varies based on multiple variables).
• Plan multiple WAPs about 600 ft apart. Signal should overlap but
only slightly.
• Use network site survey tools (not included) to determine mount-
ing locations if possible. This will ensure you get the best coverage
and performance from your installation.
