Where to Mount The Outdoor Wi-Fi Switch
Where to Mount The Outdoor Wi-Fi Switch
The Wi-Fi Switch is designed to maximize 
operation in a 100° pattern from side to side 
(horizontally), and at a 12° pattern vertically. 
The Wi-Fi Switch’s ability to communicate 
with clients at higher data rates begins to 
diminish as you get farther outside of this 
pattern. However, reliable Wi-Fi operation is 
often available outside of this pattern, 
especially when relatively close to the Wi-Fi 
Switch. 
Figure 11—
Wi-Fi Switch Antenna Pattern
Use the following guidelines to determine the best location for the Outdoor Wi-Fi Switch: 
For best performance, position the Outdoor Wi-Fi Switch where there are no outdoor 
obstructions close to a line of sight path to the intended client operating area. For example, trees 
contain large amounts of water, which can greatly weaken Wi-Fi signals. Make sure that no tree 
limbs or other foliage are within several feet of the line of sight path from the Wi-Fi Switch to 
the intended client coverage area. 
Do not position the Wi-Fi Switch farther away from the intended coverage area than is necessary. 
At a distance of 100 feet, the Wi-Fi Switch’s antenna covers a minimum area of about 240 feet 
wide by 21 feet high (see below). 
Figure 12—
Example Coverage Area 100 Feet From the Wi-Fi Switch (not to scale)
The Switch should be at least 16 feet from the outside of the structure where Wi-Fi is being 
provided.
For a single building, or a horizontal row of buildings, center the Wi-Fi Switch in relation 
to the coverage area height and width to provide line of sight to each building. Do not 
position the Wi-Fi Switch where areas requiring Wi-Fi operation are directly blocked by 
another building (see below).
