Setup
The setup of the Wireless Access Point can be performed using the following steps:

is usually the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.
u Visually inspect the Ethernet RJ45 port connector and make sure that it is fully plugged in to the
system’s Ethernet switch/hub port.

wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be.
The antenna’s position enhances the receiving sensitivity.
