Figure 3: Coverage Pattern for AP400 When Ceiling Mounted
Most installations receive the best coverage using the following guidelines:
Install APs toward the center of the building.
Place APs about 80 feet apart.
Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors, or electric service panels.
For best coverage, orient antennas as shown in
Attach the Provided Antennas
All AP400s have eight external antenna ports, labeled A1 - A8. These units operate with eight antennas
attached, even though some configurations don’t use all eight. Instead of attaching an antenna, you
can cap unused antenna connectors with 50 ohm Reverse Polarity SMA terminators. (For a list of
approved terminators, see

.) Meru-supplied antennas are suitable
only for indoor use. To achieve the best performance from your AP400, position antennas at a 90 degree
angles relative to each other as shown in

. (The antennas do not have to be oriented exactly
as shown in the figure, but it is important to maintain the relative angles.) If for some reason you are
unable to maintain those angles, the network will still operate, but you may experience up to a 20%
drop in throughput depending on the antenna orientation.
