We recommend that you first set up your building and floors to scale and define the floor 
plans. For more information, see 

Then, for each floor, perform the following tasks:

Use the WiFi Auto Planning Advisor

See 

(Optional) Manually add and fine-tune access points on each floor.

See 

(Optional) Manually add and fine-tune antennas.
