How to use

Install the access point in a central indoor location, mounted on a ceiling or wall to optimize coverage. Connect the device to the wired network using an Ethernet cable and provide power via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or a compatible power source as specified by your network design. Enroll the access point into your centralized management system to apply configuration profiles, SSID settings and security policies. Perform a site survey or use management tools to adjust channel, transmit power and placement to ensure even coverage and minimal interference.

Usage recommendations

Place access points at regular intervals to avoid coverage gaps and reduce co‑channel interference. Use centralized management for firmware updates and to monitor client load and radio performance. For dense deployments, enable band steering and client load balancing, and perform periodic site assessments after user or layout changes.
