FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Wireless access points should be installed away from large metal, stone, and glass surfaces, which can block or reflect Wi‑Fi signals and reduce performance.
Most access points connect to the router via a wired Ethernet connection. However, some can connect wirelessly in a mesh network, and others are integrated into the router itself.
- For homes or small setups, a standard router is usually sufficient.
For larger buildings or enterprises, dedicated access points (APs) provide better coverage, scalability, and flexibility.
It depends on the environment, but ceiling mounting is often preferred, especially in commercial or institutional settings, as many access points are designed to be suspended for optimal coverage.
Many modern routers can be configured to function as an access point, but not all. Always check the device’s settings or manufacturer’s documentation to confirm compatibility.
